0.3 is what percent of 6.07 - 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 6.07 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 6.07, so we can write it down as 100%=6.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.07
2) x%=0.3
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%=6.07/0.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.3 is what percent of 6.07

100%/x%=6.07/0.3
(100/x)*x=(6.07/0.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.233333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.233333333333) to get x
100/20.233333333333=x
4.9423393739703=x
x=4.9423393739703

now we have:
0.3 is 4.9423393739703% of 6.07
