849.35 is what percent of 12451 - 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 12451 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 12451, so we can write it down as 100%=12451.
4. We know, that x% equals 849.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=849.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12451
2) x%=849.35
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%=12451/849.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 849.35 is what percent of 12451

100%/x%=12451/849.35
(100/x)*x=(12451/849.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.659445458292*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.659445458292) to get x
100/14.659445458292=x
6.821540438519=x
x=6.821540438519

now we have:
849.35 is 6.821540438519% of 12451
