3079.62 is what percent of 6370 - 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 6370 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 6370, so we can write it down as 100%=6370.
4. We know, that x% equals 3079.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3079.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6370
2) x%=3079.62
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%=6370/3079.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3079.62 is what percent of 6370

100%/x%=6370/3079.62
(100/x)*x=(6370/3079.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0684370149564*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0684370149564) to get x
100/2.0684370149564=x
48.34568288854=x
x=48.34568288854

now we have:
3079.62 is 48.34568288854% of 6370
