6.05 is what percent of 71.04 - 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 71.04 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 71.04, so we can write it down as 100%=71.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=71.04
2) x%=6.05
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%=71.04/6.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.05 is what percent of 71.04

100%/x%=71.04/6.05
(100/x)*x=(71.04/6.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.742148760331*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.742148760331) to get x
100/11.742148760331=x
8.5163288288288=x
x=8.5163288288288

now we have:
6.05 is 8.5163288288288% of 71.04
