100.6 is what percent of 1425 - 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 1425 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 1425, so we can write it down as 100%=1425.
4. We know, that x% equals 100.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=100.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1425
2) x%=100.6
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%=1425/100.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 100.6 is what percent of 1425

100%/x%=1425/100.6
(100/x)*x=(1425/100.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.165009940358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.165009940358) to get x
100/14.165009940358=x
7.059649122807=x
x=7.059649122807

now we have:
100.6 is 7.059649122807% of 1425
