9 is what percent of 81.8 - 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 81.8 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 81.8, so we can write it down as 100%=81.8.
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%=81.8
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%=81.8/9
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 81.8

100%/x%=81.8/9
(100/x)*x=(81.8/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.0888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.0888888888889) to get x
100/9.0888888888889=x
11.002444987775=x
x=11.002444987775

now we have:
9 is 11.002444987775% of 81.8
