6.25 is what percent of 6.85 - 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 6.85 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 6.85, so we can write it down as 100%=6.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.85
2) x%=6.25
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%=6.85/6.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.25 is what percent of 6.85

100%/x%=6.85/6.25
(100/x)*x=(6.85/6.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.096) to get x
100/1.096=x
91.240875912409=x
x=91.240875912409

now we have:
6.25 is 91.240875912409% of 6.85
