9.25 is what percent of 3140.5 - 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 3140.5 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 3140.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3140.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3140.5
2) x%=9.25
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%=3140.5/9.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.25 is what percent of 3140.5

100%/x%=3140.5/9.25
(100/x)*x=(3140.5/9.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=339.51351351351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (339.51351351351) to get x
100/339.51351351351=x
0.29453908613278=x
x=0.29453908613278

now we have:
9.25 is 0.29453908613278% of 3140.5
