6.6 is what percent of 16368 - 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 16368 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 16368, so we can write it down as 100%=16368.
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%=16368
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%=16368/6.6
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 16368

100%/x%=16368/6.6
(100/x)*x=(16368/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2480*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2480) to get x
100/2480=x
0.040322580645161=x
x=0.040322580645161

now we have:
6.6 is 0.040322580645161% of 16368
