9 is what percent of 3663 - 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 3663 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 3663, so we can write it down as 100%=3663.
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%=3663
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%=3663/9
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 3663

100%/x%=3663/9
(100/x)*x=(3663/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=407*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (407) to get x
100/407=x
0.24570024570025=x
x=0.24570024570025

now we have:
9 is 0.24570024570025% of 3663
