65 is what percent of 990.77 - 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 990.77 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 990.77, so we can write it down as 100%=990.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=990.77
2) x%=65
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%=990.77/65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65 is what percent of 990.77

100%/x%=990.77/65
(100/x)*x=(990.77/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.242615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.242615384615) to get x
100/15.242615384615=x
6.5605539126134=x
x=6.5605539126134

now we have:
65 is 6.5605539126134% of 990.77
