854.1 is what percent of 6348.73 - 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 6348.73 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 6348.73, so we can write it down as 100%=6348.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 854.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=854.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6348.73
2) x%=854.1
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%=6348.73/854.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 854.1 is what percent of 6348.73

100%/x%=6348.73/854.1
(100/x)*x=(6348.73/854.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4332396674862*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4332396674862) to get x
100/7.4332396674862=x
13.453084317651=x
x=13.453084317651

now we have:
