220.75 is what percent of 6209.12 - 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 6209.12 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 6209.12, so we can write it down as 100%=6209.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 220.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=220.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6209.12
2) x%=220.75
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%=6209.12/220.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 220.75 is what percent of 6209.12

100%/x%=6209.12/220.75
(100/x)*x=(6209.12/220.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28.12738391846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.12738391846) to get x
100/28.12738391846=x
3.5552542067153=x
x=3.5552542067153

now we have:
