9 is what percent of 322.583 - 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 322.583 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 322.583, so we can write it down as 100%=322.583.
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%=322.583
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%=322.583/9
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 322.583

100%/x%=322.583/9
(100/x)*x=(322.583/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.842555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.842555555556) to get x
100/35.842555555556=x
2.7899796331487=x
x=2.7899796331487

now we have:
9 is 2.7899796331487% of 322.583
