505.3 is what percent of 9000 - 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 9000 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 9000, so we can write it down as 100%=9000.
4. We know, that x% equals 505.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=505.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9000
2) x%=505.3
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%=9000/505.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 505.3 is what percent of 9000

100%/x%=9000/505.3
(100/x)*x=(9000/505.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.811201266574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.811201266574) to get x
100/17.811201266574=x
5.6144444444444=x
x=5.6144444444444

now we have:
505.3 is 5.6144444444444% of 9000
