6.51 is what percent of 6.97 - 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 6.97 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 6.97, so we can write it down as 100%=6.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.97
2) x%=6.51
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%=6.97/6.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.51 is what percent of 6.97

100%/x%=6.97/6.51
(100/x)*x=(6.97/6.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0706605222734*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0706605222734) to get x
100/1.0706605222734=x
93.400286944046=x
x=93.400286944046

now we have:
6.51 is 93.400286944046% of 6.97
