41.89 is what percent of 6000 - 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 6000 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 6000, so we can write it down as 100%=6000.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6000
2) x%=41.89
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%=6000/41.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.89 is what percent of 6000

100%/x%=6000/41.89
(100/x)*x=(6000/41.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=143.23227500597*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (143.23227500597) to get x
100/143.23227500597=x
0.69816666666667=x
x=0.69816666666667

now we have:
41.89 is 0.69816666666667% of 6000
