243.1 is what percent of 6.5 - 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 6.5 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 6.5, so we can write it down as 100%=6.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.5
2) x%=243.1
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%=6.5/243.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.1 is what percent of 6.5

100%/x%=6.5/243.1
(100/x)*x=(6.5/243.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.026737967914439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.026737967914439) to get x
100/0.026737967914439=x
3740=x
x=3740

now we have:
243.1 is 3740% of 6.5
