0.73 is what percent of 6843 - 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 6843 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 6843, so we can write it down as 100%=6843.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6843
2) x%=0.73
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%=6843/0.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.73 is what percent of 6843

100%/x%=6843/0.73
(100/x)*x=(6843/0.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9373.9726027397*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9373.9726027397) to get x
100/9373.9726027397=x
0.010667835744556=x
x=0.010667835744556

now we have:
0.73 is 0.010667835744556% of 6843
