84.28 is what percent of 660 - 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 660 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 660, so we can write it down as 100%=660.
4. We know, that x% equals 84.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=84.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=660
2) x%=84.28
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%=660/84.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 84.28 is what percent of 660

100%/x%=660/84.28
(100/x)*x=(660/84.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8310393925012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8310393925012) to get x
100/7.8310393925012=x
12.769696969697=x
x=12.769696969697

now we have:
84.28 is 12.769696969697% of 660
