6.27 is what percent of 12498 - 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 12498 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 12498, so we can write it down as 100%=12498.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12498
2) x%=6.27
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%=12498/6.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.27 is what percent of 12498

100%/x%=12498/6.27
(100/x)*x=(12498/6.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1993.3014354067*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1993.3014354067) to get x
100/1993.3014354067=x
0.050168026884301=x
x=0.050168026884301

now we have:
6.27 is 0.050168026884301% of 12498
