0.06 is what percent of 10.7 - 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 10.7 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 10.7, so we can write it down as 100%=10.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.7
2) x%=0.06
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%=10.7/0.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.06 is what percent of 10.7

100%/x%=10.7/0.06
(100/x)*x=(10.7/0.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=178.33333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (178.33333333333) to get x
100/178.33333333333=x
0.5607476635514=x
x=0.5607476635514

now we have:
0.06 is 0.5607476635514% of 10.7
