4.27 is what percent of 6.09 - 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 6.09 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 6.09, so we can write it down as 100%=6.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.09
2) x%=4.27
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%=6.09/4.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.27 is what percent of 6.09

100%/x%=6.09/4.27
(100/x)*x=(6.09/4.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4262295081967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4262295081967) to get x
100/1.4262295081967=x
70.114942528736=x
x=70.114942528736

now we have:
4.27 is 70.114942528736% of 6.09
