1.785 is what percent of 6 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=6.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.785 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.785.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6
2) x%=1.785
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%=6/1.785
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.785 is what percent of 6

100%/x%=6/1.785
(100/x)*x=(6/1.785)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3613445378151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3613445378151) to get x
100/3.3613445378151=x
29.75=x
x=29.75

now we have:
1.785 is 29.75% of 6
