854 is what percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 854 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=854.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=854
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%=9/854
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 854 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/854
(100/x)*x=(9/854)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.010538641686183*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.010538641686183) to get x
100/0.010538641686183=x
9488.8888888889=x
x=9488.8888888889

now we have:
854 is 9488.8888888889% of 9
