9.75 is what percent of 436 - 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 436 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 436, so we can write it down as 100%=436.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=436
2) x%=9.75
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%=436/9.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.75 is what percent of 436

100%/x%=436/9.75
(100/x)*x=(436/9.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.717948717949*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.717948717949) to get x
100/44.717948717949=x
2.2362385321101=x
x=2.2362385321101

now we have:
9.75 is 2.2362385321101% of 436
