6 is what percent of 41340 - 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 41340 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 41340, so we can write it down as 100%=41340.
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%=41340
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%=41340/6
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 41340

100%/x%=41340/6
(100/x)*x=(41340/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6890*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6890) to get x
100/6890=x
0.014513788098694=x
x=0.014513788098694

now we have:
6 is 0.014513788098694% of 41340
