6 is what percent of 111000 - 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 111000 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 111000, so we can write it down as 100%=111000.
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%=111000
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%=111000/6
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 111000

100%/x%=111000/6
(100/x)*x=(111000/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18500*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18500) to get x
100/18500=x
0.0054054054054054=x
x=0.0054054054054054

now we have:
6 is 0.0054054054054054% of 111000
