6.44 is what percent of 85.3 - 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 85.3 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 85.3, so we can write it down as 100%=85.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=85.3
2) x%=6.44
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%=85.3/6.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.44 is what percent of 85.3

100%/x%=85.3/6.44
(100/x)*x=(85.3/6.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.245341614907*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.245341614907) to get x
100/13.245341614907=x
7.5498241500586=x
x=7.5498241500586

now we have:
6.44 is 7.5498241500586% of 85.3
