890.59 is what percent of 6850 - 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 6850 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 6850, so we can write it down as 100%=6850.
4. We know, that x% equals 890.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=890.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6850
2) x%=890.59
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%=6850/890.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 890.59 is what percent of 6850

100%/x%=6850/890.59
(100/x)*x=(6850/890.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6915303338236*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6915303338236) to get x
100/7.6915303338236=x
13.001313868613=x
x=13.001313868613

now we have:
890.59 is 13.001313868613% of 6850
