591.08 is what percent of 9500.12 - 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 9500.12 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 9500.12, so we can write it down as 100%=9500.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 591.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=591.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9500.12
2) x%=591.08
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%=9500.12/591.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 591.08 is what percent of 9500.12

100%/x%=9500.12/591.08
(100/x)*x=(9500.12/591.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.072477498816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.072477498816) to get x
100/16.072477498816=x
6.2218161454803=x
x=6.2218161454803

now we have:
591.08 is 6.2218161454803% of 9500.12
