554.76 is what percent of 6500 - 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 6500 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 6500, so we can write it down as 100%=6500.
4. We know, that x% equals 554.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=554.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6500
2) x%=554.76
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%=6500/554.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 554.76 is what percent of 6500

100%/x%=6500/554.76
(100/x)*x=(6500/554.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.716778426707*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.716778426707) to get x
100/11.716778426707=x
8.5347692307692=x
x=8.5347692307692

now we have:
554.76 is 8.5347692307692% of 6500
