6 is what percent of 3001746 - 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 3001746 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 3001746, so we can write it down as 100%=3001746.
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%=3001746
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%=3001746/6
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 3001746

100%/x%=3001746/6
(100/x)*x=(3001746/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=500291*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (500291) to get x
100/500291=x
0.0001998836677054=x
x=0.0001998836677054

now we have:
