342.39 is what percent of 6094 - 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 6094 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 6094, so we can write it down as 100%=6094.
4. We know, that x% equals 342.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=342.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6094
2) x%=342.39
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%=6094/342.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 342.39 is what percent of 6094

100%/x%=6094/342.39
(100/x)*x=(6094/342.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.798417009843*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.798417009843) to get x
100/17.798417009843=x
5.6184771906794=x
x=5.6184771906794

now we have:
342.39 is 5.6184771906794% of 6094
