6 is what percent of 807 - 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 807 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 807, so we can write it down as 100%=807.
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%=807
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%=807/6
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 807

100%/x%=807/6
(100/x)*x=(807/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=134.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (134.5) to get x
100/134.5=x
0.74349442379182=x
x=0.74349442379182

now we have:
6 is 0.74349442379182% of 807
