0.68 is what percent of 6.83 - 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 6.83 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 6.83, so we can write it down as 100%=6.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.83
2) x%=0.68
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%=6.83/0.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.68 is what percent of 6.83

100%/x%=6.83/0.68
(100/x)*x=(6.83/0.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.044117647059*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.044117647059) to get x
100/10.044117647059=x
9.9560761346999=x
x=9.9560761346999

now we have:
0.68 is 9.9560761346999% of 6.83
