6 is what percent of 235.248 - 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 235.248 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 235.248, so we can write it down as 100%=235.248.
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%=235.248
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%=235.248/6
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 235.248

100%/x%=235.248/6
(100/x)*x=(235.248/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.208*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.208) to get x
100/39.208=x
2.55049989798=x
x=2.55049989798

now we have:
6 is 2.55049989798% of 235.248
