6 is what percent of 180680 - 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 180680 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 180680, so we can write it down as 100%=180680.
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%=180680
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%=180680/6
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 180680

100%/x%=180680/6
(100/x)*x=(180680/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30113.333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30113.333333333) to get x
100/30113.333333333=x
0.0033207881337171=x
x=0.0033207881337171

now we have:
6 is 0.0033207881337171% of 180680
