849.21 is what percent of 1224 - 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 1224 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 1224, so we can write it down as 100%=1224.
4. We know, that x% equals 849.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=849.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1224
2) x%=849.21
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%=1224/849.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 849.21 is what percent of 1224

100%/x%=1224/849.21
(100/x)*x=(1224/849.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4413395979793*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4413395979793) to get x
100/1.4413395979793=x
69.379901960784=x
x=69.379901960784

now we have:
849.21 is 69.379901960784% of 1224
