6 is what percent of 50.94 - 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 50.94 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 50.94, so we can write it down as 100%=50.94.
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%=50.94
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%=50.94/6
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 50.94

100%/x%=50.94/6
(100/x)*x=(50.94/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.49*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.49) to get x
100/8.49=x
11.778563015312=x
x=11.778563015312

now we have:
6 is 11.778563015312% of 50.94
