121.23 is what percent of 6789 - 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 6789 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 6789, so we can write it down as 100%=6789.
4. We know, that x% equals 121.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=121.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6789
2) x%=121.23
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%=6789/121.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 121.23 is what percent of 6789

100%/x%=6789/121.23
(100/x)*x=(6789/121.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.000989853997*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.000989853997) to get x
100/56.000989853997=x
1.7856827220504=x
x=1.7856827220504

now we have:
121.23 is 1.7856827220504% of 6789
