947.2 is what percent of 6582.9 - 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 6582.9 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 6582.9, so we can write it down as 100%=6582.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 947.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=947.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6582.9
2) x%=947.2
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%=6582.9/947.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 947.2 is what percent of 6582.9

100%/x%=6582.9/947.2
(100/x)*x=(6582.9/947.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9498521959459*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9498521959459) to get x
100/6.9498521959459=x
14.388795211837=x
x=14.388795211837

now we have:
