416.67 is what percent of 3866.5 - 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 3866.5 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 3866.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3866.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 416.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=416.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3866.5
2) x%=416.67
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%=3866.5/416.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 416.67 is what percent of 3866.5

100%/x%=3866.5/416.67
(100/x)*x=(3866.5/416.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.2795257637939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.2795257637939) to get x
100/9.2795257637939=x
10.776412776413=x
x=10.776412776413

now we have:
