629 is what percent of 9534 - 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 9534 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 9534, so we can write it down as 100%=9534.
4. We know, that x% equals 629 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=629.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9534
2) x%=629
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%=9534/629
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 629 is what percent of 9534

100%/x%=9534/629
(100/x)*x=(9534/629)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.157392686804*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.157392686804) to get x
100/15.157392686804=x
6.5974407384099=x
x=6.5974407384099

now we have:
629 is 6.5974407384099% of 9534
