6 is what percent of 4.95 - 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 4.95 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 4.95, so we can write it down as 100%=4.95.
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%=4.95
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%=4.95/6
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 4.95

100%/x%=4.95/6
(100/x)*x=(4.95/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.825*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.825) to get x
100/0.825=x
121.21212121212=x
x=121.21212121212

now we have:
6 is 121.21212121212% of 4.95
