6885.44 is what percent of 9657 - 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 9657 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 9657, so we can write it down as 100%=9657.
4. We know, that x% equals 6885.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6885.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9657
2) x%=6885.44
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%=9657/6885.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6885.44 is what percent of 9657

100%/x%=9657/6885.44
(100/x)*x=(9657/6885.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4025247478738*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4025247478738) to get x
100/1.4025247478738=x
71.299989644817=x
x=71.299989644817

now we have:
