9.66 is what percent of 73.92 - 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 73.92 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 73.92, so we can write it down as 100%=73.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73.92
2) x%=9.66
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%=73.92/9.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.66 is what percent of 73.92

100%/x%=73.92/9.66
(100/x)*x=(73.92/9.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6521739130435*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6521739130435) to get x
100/7.6521739130435=x
13.068181818182=x
x=13.068181818182

now we have:
9.66 is 13.068181818182% of 73.92
