6.5 is what percent of 95.2 - 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 95.2 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 95.2, so we can write it down as 100%=95.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=95.2
2) x%=6.5
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%=95.2/6.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.5 is what percent of 95.2

100%/x%=95.2/6.5
(100/x)*x=(95.2/6.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.646153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.646153846154) to get x
100/14.646153846154=x
6.827731092437=x
x=6.827731092437

now we have:
6.5 is 6.827731092437% of 95.2
