6 is what percent of 10892 - 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 10892 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 10892, so we can write it down as 100%=10892.
4. We know, that x% equals 6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10892
2) x%=6
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%=10892/6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6 is what percent of 10892

100%/x%=10892/6
(100/x)*x=(10892/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1815.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1815.3333333333) to get x
100/1815.3333333333=x
0.055086301872934=x
x=0.055086301872934

now we have:
6 is 0.055086301872934% of 10892
