9018.8 is what percent of 409900 - 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 409900 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 409900, so we can write it down as 100%=409900.
4. We know, that x% equals 9018.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9018.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=409900
2) x%=9018.8
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%=409900/9018.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9018.8 is what percent of 409900

100%/x%=409900/9018.8
(100/x)*x=(409900/9018.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=45.449505477447*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (45.449505477447) to get x
100/45.449505477447=x
2.2002439619419=x
x=2.2002439619419

now we have:
