397.79 is what percent of 9501 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 9501 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 9501, so we can write it down as 100%=9501.
4. We know, that x% equals 397.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=397.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9501
2) x%=397.79
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=9501/397.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 397.79 is what percent of 9501

100%/x%=9501/397.79
(100/x)*x=(9501/397.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.88446165062*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.88446165062) to get x
100/23.88446165062=x
4.1868224397432=x
x=4.1868224397432

now we have:
397.79 is 4.1868224397432% of 9501
