6 is what percent of 8852 - 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 8852 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 8852, so we can write it down as 100%=8852.
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%=8852
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%=8852/6
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 8852

100%/x%=8852/6
(100/x)*x=(8852/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1475.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1475.3333333333) to get x
100/1475.3333333333=x
0.067781292363308=x
x=0.067781292363308

now we have:
6 is 0.067781292363308% of 8852
