9 is what percent of 5959 - 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 5959 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 5959, so we can write it down as 100%=5959.
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%=5959
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%=5959/9
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 5959

100%/x%=5959/9
(100/x)*x=(5959/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=662.11111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (662.11111111111) to get x
100/662.11111111111=x
0.15103205235778=x
x=0.15103205235778

now we have:
9 is 0.15103205235778% of 5959
