9.57 is what percent of 7.66 - 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 7.66 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 7.66, so we can write it down as 100%=7.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.66
2) x%=9.57
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%=7.66/9.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.57 is what percent of 7.66

100%/x%=7.66/9.57
(100/x)*x=(7.66/9.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.80041797283177*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80041797283177) to get x
100/0.80041797283177=x
124.93472584856=x
x=124.93472584856

now we have:
9.57 is 124.93472584856% of 7.66
