6 is what percent of 7600 - 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 7600 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 7600, so we can write it down as 100%=7600.
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%=7600
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%=7600/6
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 7600

100%/x%=7600/6
(100/x)*x=(7600/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1266.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1266.6666666667) to get x
100/1266.6666666667=x
0.078947368421053=x
x=0.078947368421053

now we have:
6 is 0.078947368421053% of 7600
