530 is what percent of 9 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 530 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=530.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=530
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%=9/530
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 530 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/530
(100/x)*x=(9/530)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.016981132075472*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.016981132075472) to get x
100/0.016981132075472=x
5888.8888888889=x
x=5888.8888888889

now we have:
530 is 5888.8888888889% of 9
