367.8 is what percent of 6130 - 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 6130 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 6130, so we can write it down as 100%=6130.
4. We know, that x% equals 367.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=367.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6130
2) x%=367.8
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%=6130/367.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 367.8 is what percent of 6130

100%/x%=6130/367.8
(100/x)*x=(6130/367.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.666666666667) to get x
100/16.666666666667=x
6=x
x=6

now we have:
367.8 is 6% of 6130
