21 is what percent of 6031 - 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 6031 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 6031, so we can write it down as 100%=6031.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6031
2) x%=21
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%=6031/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 6031

100%/x%=6031/21
(100/x)*x=(6031/21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=287.19047619048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (287.19047619048) to get x
100/287.19047619048=x
0.34820096169789=x
x=0.34820096169789

now we have:
21 is 0.34820096169789% of 6031
