6.53 is what percent of 132 - 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 132 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 132, so we can write it down as 100%=132.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132
2) x%=6.53
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%=132/6.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.53 is what percent of 132

100%/x%=132/6.53
(100/x)*x=(132/6.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.214395099541*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.214395099541) to get x
100/20.214395099541=x
4.9469696969697=x
x=4.9469696969697

now we have:
6.53 is 4.9469696969697% of 132
