6.6 is what percent of 327.2 - 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 327.2 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 327.2, so we can write it down as 100%=327.2.
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%=327.2
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%=327.2/6.6
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 327.2

100%/x%=327.2/6.6
(100/x)*x=(327.2/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.575757575758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.575757575758) to get x
100/49.575757575758=x
2.0171149144254=x
x=2.0171149144254

now we have:
6.6 is 2.0171149144254% of 327.2
