2.06 is what percent of 61 - 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 61 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 61, so we can write it down as 100%=61.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=61
2) x%=2.06
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%=61/2.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.06 is what percent of 61

100%/x%=61/2.06
(100/x)*x=(61/2.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.611650485437*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.611650485437) to get x
100/29.611650485437=x
3.3770491803279=x
x=3.3770491803279

now we have:
2.06 is 3.3770491803279% of 61
