6.12 is what percent of 111.12 - 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 111.12 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 111.12, so we can write it down as 100%=111.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=111.12
2) x%=6.12
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%=111.12/6.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.12 is what percent of 111.12

100%/x%=111.12/6.12
(100/x)*x=(111.12/6.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.156862745098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.156862745098) to get x
100/18.156862745098=x
5.5075593952484=x
x=5.5075593952484

now we have:
6.12 is 5.5075593952484% of 111.12
