89 is what percent of 65536 - 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 65536 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 65536, so we can write it down as 100%=65536.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=65536
2) x%=89
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%=65536/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 65536

100%/x%=65536/89
(100/x)*x=(65536/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=736.3595505618*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (736.3595505618) to get x
100/736.3595505618=x
0.13580322265625=x
x=0.13580322265625

now we have:
89 is 0.13580322265625% of 65536
