5.97 is what percent of 6.27 - 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 6.27 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 6.27, so we can write it down as 100%=6.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.27
2) x%=5.97
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%=6.27/5.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.97 is what percent of 6.27

100%/x%=6.27/5.97
(100/x)*x=(6.27/5.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0502512562814*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0502512562814) to get x
100/1.0502512562814=x
95.215311004785=x
x=95.215311004785

now we have:
5.97 is 95.215311004785% of 6.27
