796.8 is what percent of 9960 - 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 9960 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 9960, so we can write it down as 100%=9960.
4. We know, that x% equals 796.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=796.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9960
2) x%=796.8
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%=9960/796.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 796.8 is what percent of 9960

100%/x%=9960/796.8
(100/x)*x=(9960/796.8)*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:
796.8 is 8% of 9960
