6 is what percent of 1104 - 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 1104 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 1104, so we can write it down as 100%=1104.
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%=1104
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%=1104/6
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 1104

100%/x%=1104/6
(100/x)*x=(1104/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=184*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (184) to get x
100/184=x
0.54347826086957=x
x=0.54347826086957

now we have:
6 is 0.54347826086957% of 1104
