574.4 is what percent of 9640 - 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 9640 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 9640, so we can write it down as 100%=9640.
4. We know, that x% equals 574.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=574.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9640
2) x%=574.4
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%=9640/574.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 574.4 is what percent of 9640

100%/x%=9640/574.4
(100/x)*x=(9640/574.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.782729805014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.782729805014) to get x
100/16.782729805014=x
5.9585062240664=x
x=5.9585062240664

now we have:
574.4 is 5.9585062240664% of 9640
