6.27 is what percent of 255000 - 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 255000 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 255000, so we can write it down as 100%=255000.
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%=255000
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%=255000/6.27
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 255000

100%/x%=255000/6.27
(100/x)*x=(255000/6.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40669.85645933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40669.85645933) to get x
100/40669.85645933=x
0.0024588235294118=x
x=0.0024588235294118

now we have:
6.27 is 0.0024588235294118% of 255000
