1249.29 is what percent of 6000 - 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 6000 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 6000, so we can write it down as 100%=6000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1249.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1249.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6000
2) x%=1249.29
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%=6000/1249.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1249.29 is what percent of 6000

100%/x%=6000/1249.29
(100/x)*x=(6000/1249.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8027279494753*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8027279494753) to get x
100/4.8027279494753=x
20.8215=x
x=20.8215

now we have:
1249.29 is 20.8215% of 6000
