6.6 is what percent of 10.89 - 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 10.89 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 10.89, so we can write it down as 100%=10.89.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.89
2) x%=6.6
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%=10.89/6.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.6 is what percent of 10.89

100%/x%=10.89/6.6
(100/x)*x=(10.89/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.65*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.65) to get x
100/1.65=x
60.6060606061=x
x=60.6060606061

now we have:
6.6 is 60.6060606061% of 10.89
