8.16 is what percent of 66.577 - 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 66.577 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 66.577, so we can write it down as 100%=66.577.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66.577
2) x%=8.16
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%=66.577/8.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.16 is what percent of 66.577

100%/x%=66.577/8.16
(100/x)*x=(66.577/8.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1589460784314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1589460784314) to get x
100/8.1589460784314=x
12.256484972288=x
x=12.256484972288

now we have:
8.16 is 12.256484972288% of 66.577
