792.12 is what percent of 9000 - 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 9000 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 9000, so we can write it down as 100%=9000.
4. We know, that x% equals 792.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=792.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9000
2) x%=792.12
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%=9000/792.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 792.12 is what percent of 9000

100%/x%=9000/792.12
(100/x)*x=(9000/792.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.361914861385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.361914861385) to get x
100/11.361914861385=x
8.8013333333333=x
x=8.8013333333333

now we have:
792.12 is 8.8013333333333% of 9000
