6.02 is what percent of 401.32 - 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 401.32 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 401.32, so we can write it down as 100%=401.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=401.32
2) x%=6.02
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%=401.32/6.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.02 is what percent of 401.32

100%/x%=401.32/6.02
(100/x)*x=(401.32/6.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.664451827243*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.664451827243) to get x
100/66.664451827243=x
1.5000498355427=x
x=1.5000498355427

now we have:
6.02 is 1.5000498355427% of 401.32
