6.4 is what percent of 94.1 - 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 94.1 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 94.1, so we can write it down as 100%=94.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.1
2) x%=6.4
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%=94.1/6.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.4 is what percent of 94.1

100%/x%=94.1/6.4
(100/x)*x=(94.1/6.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.703125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.703125) to get x
100/14.703125=x
6.8012752391073=x
x=6.8012752391073

now we have:
6.4 is 6.8012752391073% of 94.1
