2490.66 is what percent of 6580 - 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 6580 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 6580, so we can write it down as 100%=6580.
4. We know, that x% equals 2490.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2490.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6580
2) x%=2490.66
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%=6580/2490.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2490.66 is what percent of 6580

100%/x%=6580/2490.66
(100/x)*x=(6580/2490.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6418700264187*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6418700264187) to get x
100/2.6418700264187=x
37.851975683891=x
x=37.851975683891

now we have:
2490.66 is 37.851975683891% of 6580
