9.64 is what percent of 14.39 - 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 14.39 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 14.39, so we can write it down as 100%=14.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.39
2) x%=9.64
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%=14.39/9.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.64 is what percent of 14.39

100%/x%=14.39/9.64
(100/x)*x=(14.39/9.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4927385892116*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4927385892116) to get x
100/1.4927385892116=x
66.990965948575=x
x=66.990965948575

now we have:
9.64 is 66.990965948575% of 14.39
