516.9 is what percent of 9.829 - 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 9.829 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 9.829, so we can write it down as 100%=9.829.
4. We know, that x% equals 516.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=516.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.829
2) x%=516.9
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%=9.829/516.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 516.9 is what percent of 9.829

100%/x%=9.829/516.9
(100/x)*x=(9.829/516.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.019015283420391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.019015283420391) to get x
100/0.019015283420391=x
5258.9276630379=x
x=5258.9276630379

now we have:
516.9 is 5258.9276630379% of 9.829
