6 is what percent of 16410 - 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 16410 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 16410, so we can write it down as 100%=16410.
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%=16410
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%=16410/6
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 16410

100%/x%=16410/6
(100/x)*x=(16410/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2735*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2735) to get x
100/2735=x
0.036563071297989=x
x=0.036563071297989

now we have:
6 is 0.036563071297989% of 16410
