9.84 is what percent of 124 - 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 124 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 124, so we can write it down as 100%=124.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=124
2) x%=9.84
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%=124/9.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.84 is what percent of 124

100%/x%=124/9.84
(100/x)*x=(124/9.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.60162601626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.60162601626) to get x
100/12.60162601626=x
7.9354838709677=x
x=7.9354838709677

now we have:
9.84 is 7.9354838709677% of 124
