1009 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 1009 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1009.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6
2) x%=1009
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%=6/1009
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1009 is what percent of 6

100%/x%=6/1009
(100/x)*x=(6/1009)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0059464816650149*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0059464816650149) to get x
100/0.0059464816650149=x
16816.666666667=x
x=16816.666666667

now we have:
1009 is 16816.666666667% of 6
