6 is what percent of 32.33 - 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 32.33 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 32.33, so we can write it down as 100%=32.33.
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%=32.33
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%=32.33/6
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 32.33

100%/x%=32.33/6
(100/x)*x=(32.33/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3883333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3883333333333) to get x
100/5.3883333333333=x
18.558614290133=x
x=18.558614290133

now we have:
6 is 18.558614290133% of 32.33
