9.09 is what percent of 16.7 - 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 16.7 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 16.7, so we can write it down as 100%=16.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.7
2) x%=9.09
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%=16.7/9.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.09 is what percent of 16.7

100%/x%=16.7/9.09
(100/x)*x=(16.7/9.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8371837183718*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8371837183718) to get x
100/1.8371837183718=x
54.431137724551=x
x=54.431137724551

now we have:
9.09 is 54.431137724551% of 16.7
