6 is what percent of 6114 - 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 6114 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 6114, so we can write it down as 100%=6114.
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%=6114
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%=6114/6
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 6114

100%/x%=6114/6
(100/x)*x=(6114/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1019*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1019) to get x
100/1019=x
0.098135426889107=x
x=0.098135426889107

now we have:
6 is 0.098135426889107% of 6114
