6 is what percent of 251000 - 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 251000 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 251000, so we can write it down as 100%=251000.
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%=251000
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%=251000/6
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 251000

100%/x%=251000/6
(100/x)*x=(251000/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41833.333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41833.333333333) to get x
100/41833.333333333=x
0.002390438247012=x
x=0.002390438247012

now we have:
6 is 0.002390438247012% of 251000
