6.5 is what percent of 951 - 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 951 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 951, so we can write it down as 100%=951.
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%=951
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%=951/6.5
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 951

100%/x%=951/6.5
(100/x)*x=(951/6.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=146.30769230769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (146.30769230769) to get x
100/146.30769230769=x
0.68349106203996=x
x=0.68349106203996

now we have:
6.5 is 0.68349106203996% of 951
