515.05 is what percent of 6200 - 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 6200 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 6200, so we can write it down as 100%=6200.
4. We know, that x% equals 515.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=515.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6200
2) x%=515.05
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%=6200/515.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 515.05 is what percent of 6200

100%/x%=6200/515.05
(100/x)*x=(6200/515.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.037666245996*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.037666245996) to get x
100/12.037666245996=x
8.3072580645161=x
x=8.3072580645161

now we have:
515.05 is 8.3072580645161% of 6200
