9 is what percent of 151008 - 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 151008 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 151008, so we can write it down as 100%=151008.
4. We know, that x% equals 9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=151008
2) x%=9
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%=151008/9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9 is what percent of 151008

100%/x%=151008/9
(100/x)*x=(151008/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16778.666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16778.666666667) to get x
100/16778.666666667=x
0.0059599491417673=x
x=0.0059599491417673

now we have:
9 is 0.0059599491417673% of 151008
