What is 900 percent of 608.5 - 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 608.5 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 608.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 608.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 900% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=900%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 608.5=100%
2) x=900%
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:
608.5/x=100%/900%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 900% of 608.5

608.5/x=100/900
(608.5/x)*x=(100/900)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
608.5=0.11111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11111111111111) to get x
608.5/0.11111111111111=x
5476.5=x
x=5476.5

now we have:
900% of 608.5=5476.5
