684.8 is what percent of 8560 - 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 8560 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 8560, so we can write it down as 100%=8560.
4. We know, that x% equals 684.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=684.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8560
2) x%=684.8
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%=8560/684.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 684.8 is what percent of 8560

100%/x%=8560/684.8
(100/x)*x=(8560/684.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
100/12.5=x
8=x
x=8

now we have:
684.8 is 8% of 8560
