1.96 is what percent of 6.21 - 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 6.21 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 6.21, so we can write it down as 100%=6.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.21
2) x%=1.96
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%=6.21/1.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.96 is what percent of 6.21

100%/x%=6.21/1.96
(100/x)*x=(6.21/1.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1683673469388*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1683673469388) to get x
100/3.1683673469388=x
31.561996779388=x
x=31.561996779388

now we have:
1.96 is 31.561996779388% of 6.21
