4.99 is what percent of 6.51 - 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 6.51 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 6.51, so we can write it down as 100%=6.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.51
2) x%=4.99
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%=6.51/4.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.99 is what percent of 6.51

100%/x%=6.51/4.99
(100/x)*x=(6.51/4.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3046092184369*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3046092184369) to get x
100/1.3046092184369=x
76.651305683564=x
x=76.651305683564

now we have:
4.99 is 76.651305683564% of 6.51
