6.37 is what percent of 27.56 - 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 27.56 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 27.56, so we can write it down as 100%=27.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27.56
2) x%=6.37
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%=27.56/6.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.37 is what percent of 27.56

100%/x%=27.56/6.37
(100/x)*x=(27.56/6.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3265306122449*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3265306122449) to get x
100/4.3265306122449=x
23.11320754717=x
x=23.11320754717

now we have:
6.37 is 23.11320754717% of 27.56
