467.6 is what percent of 12989 - 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 12989 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 12989, so we can write it down as 100%=12989.
4. We know, that x% equals 467.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=467.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12989
2) x%=467.6
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%=12989/467.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 467.6 is what percent of 12989

100%/x%=12989/467.6
(100/x)*x=(12989/467.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.778015397776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.778015397776) to get x
100/27.778015397776=x
3.5999692047117=x
x=3.5999692047117

now we have:
467.6 is 3.5999692047117% of 12989
