869.7 is what percent of 11650 - 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 11650 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 11650, so we can write it down as 100%=11650.
4. We know, that x% equals 869.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=869.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11650
2) x%=869.7
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%=11650/869.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 869.7 is what percent of 11650

100%/x%=11650/869.7
(100/x)*x=(11650/869.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.395423709325*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.395423709325) to get x
100/13.395423709325=x
7.4652360515021=x
x=7.4652360515021

now we have:
869.7 is 7.4652360515021% of 11650
