140.18 is what percent of 6.99 - 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 6.99 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 6.99, so we can write it down as 100%=6.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 140.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=140.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.99
2) x%=140.18
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%=6.99/140.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 140.18 is what percent of 6.99

100%/x%=6.99/140.18
(100/x)*x=(6.99/140.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.049864459980026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.049864459980026) to get x
100/0.049864459980026=x
2005.4363376252=x
x=2005.4363376252

now we have:
140.18 is 2005.4363376252% of 6.99
