6.04 is what percent of 16.31 - 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 16.31 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 16.31, so we can write it down as 100%=16.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.31
2) x%=6.04
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%=16.31/6.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.04 is what percent of 16.31

100%/x%=16.31/6.04
(100/x)*x=(16.31/6.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7003311258278*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7003311258278) to get x
100/2.7003311258278=x
37.032495401594=x
x=37.032495401594

now we have:
6.04 is 37.032495401594% of 16.31
