34980 is what percent of 6 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=6.
4. We know, that x% equals 34980 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34980.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6
2) x%=34980
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%=6/34980
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34980 is what percent of 6

100%/x%=6/34980
(100/x)*x=(6/34980)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00017152658662093*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00017152658662093) to get x
100/0.00017152658662093=x
583000=x
x=583000

now we have:
34980 is 583000% of 6
