6.08 is what percent of 165.41 - 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 165.41 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 165.41, so we can write it down as 100%=165.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=165.41
2) x%=6.08
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%=165.41/6.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.08 is what percent of 165.41

100%/x%=165.41/6.08
(100/x)*x=(165.41/6.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.205592105263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.205592105263) to get x
100/27.205592105263=x
3.6757148902727=x
x=3.6757148902727

now we have:
6.08 is 3.6757148902727% of 165.41
