3.93 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 3.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.5
2) x%=3.93
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%=6.5/3.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.93 is what percent of 6.5

100%/x%=6.5/3.93
(100/x)*x=(6.5/3.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6539440203562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6539440203562) to get x
100/1.6539440203562=x
60.461538461538=x
x=60.461538461538

now we have:
3.93 is 60.461538461538% of 6.5
