144.3 is what percent of 6600 - 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 6600 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 6600, so we can write it down as 100%=6600.
4. We know, that x% equals 144.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=144.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6600
2) x%=144.3
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%=6600/144.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 144.3 is what percent of 6600

100%/x%=6600/144.3
(100/x)*x=(6600/144.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=45.738045738046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (45.738045738046) to get x
100/45.738045738046=x
2.1863636363636=x
x=2.1863636363636

now we have:
144.3 is 2.1863636363636% of 6600
