897.21 is what percent of 1361.9 - 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 1361.9 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 1361.9, so we can write it down as 100%=1361.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 897.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=897.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1361.9
2) x%=897.21
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%=1361.9/897.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 897.21 is what percent of 1361.9

100%/x%=1361.9/897.21
(100/x)*x=(1361.9/897.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5179277983973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5179277983973) to get x
100/1.5179277983973=x
65.879286291211=x
x=65.879286291211

now we have:
