9807.7 is what percent of 17808 - 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 17808 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 17808, so we can write it down as 100%=17808.
4. We know, that x% equals 9807.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9807.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17808
2) x%=9807.7
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%=17808/9807.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9807.7 is what percent of 17808

100%/x%=17808/9807.7
(100/x)*x=(17808/9807.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8157162229677*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8157162229677) to get x
100/1.8157162229677=x
55.074685534591=x
x=55.074685534591

now we have:
