655.31 is what percent of 9139 - 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 9139 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 9139, so we can write it down as 100%=9139.
4. We know, that x% equals 655.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=655.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9139
2) x%=655.31
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%=9139/655.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 655.31 is what percent of 9139

100%/x%=9139/655.31
(100/x)*x=(9139/655.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.946071325022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.946071325022) to get x
100/13.946071325022=x
7.1704781704782=x
x=7.1704781704782

now we have:
655.31 is 7.1704781704782% of 9139
