985.56 is what percent of 412.65 - 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 412.65 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 412.65, so we can write it down as 100%=412.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 985.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=985.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=412.65
2) x%=985.56
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%=412.65/985.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 985.56 is what percent of 412.65

100%/x%=412.65/985.56
(100/x)*x=(412.65/985.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
