6596.96 is what percent of 73000 - 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 73000 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 73000, so we can write it down as 100%=73000.
4. We know, that x% equals 6596.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6596.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73000
2) x%=6596.96
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%=73000/6596.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6596.96 is what percent of 73000

100%/x%=73000/6596.96
(100/x)*x=(73000/6596.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.065702990468*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.065702990468) to get x
100/11.065702990468=x
9.0369315068493=x
x=9.0369315068493

now we have:
