28 is what percent of 6610 - 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 6610 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 6610, so we can write it down as 100%=6610.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6610
2) x%=28
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%=6610/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 6610

100%/x%=6610/28
(100/x)*x=(6610/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=236.07142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (236.07142857143) to get x
100/236.07142857143=x
0.42360060514372=x
x=0.42360060514372

now we have:
28 is 0.42360060514372% of 6610
