9715.86 is what percent of 16800 - 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 16800 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 16800, so we can write it down as 100%=16800.
4. We know, that x% equals 9715.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9715.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16800
2) x%=9715.86
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%=16800/9715.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9715.86 is what percent of 16800

100%/x%=16800/9715.86
(100/x)*x=(16800/9715.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7291315436822*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7291315436822) to get x
100/1.7291315436822=x
57.8325=x
x=57.8325

now we have:
