9.06 is what percent of 157.97 - 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 157.97 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 157.97, so we can write it down as 100%=157.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=157.97
2) x%=9.06
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%=157.97/9.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.06 is what percent of 157.97

100%/x%=157.97/9.06
(100/x)*x=(157.97/9.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.435982339956*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.435982339956) to get x
100/17.435982339956=x
5.7352661897829=x
x=5.7352661897829

now we have:
9.06 is 5.7352661897829% of 157.97
