6 is what percent of 638169 - 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 638169 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 638169, so we can write it down as 100%=638169.
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%=638169
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%=638169/6
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 638169

100%/x%=638169/6
(100/x)*x=(638169/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=106361.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (106361.5) to get x
100/106361.5=x
0.00094018982432553=x
x=0.00094018982432553

now we have:
