8417.54 is what percent of 12470 - 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 12470 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 12470, so we can write it down as 100%=12470.
4. We know, that x% equals 8417.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8417.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12470
2) x%=8417.54
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%=12470/8417.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8417.54 is what percent of 12470

100%/x%=12470/8417.54
(100/x)*x=(12470/8417.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.481430441673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.481430441673) to get x
100/1.481430441673=x
67.502325581395=x
x=67.502325581395

now we have:
