6.52 is what percent of 41.27 - 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 41.27 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 41.27, so we can write it down as 100%=41.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.27
2) x%=6.52
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%=41.27/6.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.52 is what percent of 41.27

100%/x%=41.27/6.52
(100/x)*x=(41.27/6.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.329754601227*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.329754601227) to get x
100/6.329754601227=x
15.798400775382=x
x=15.798400775382

now we have:
6.52 is 15.798400775382% of 41.27
