6.6 is what percent of 9.8 - 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 9.8 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 9.8, so we can write it down as 100%=9.8.
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%=9.8
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%=9.8/6.6
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 9.8

100%/x%=9.8/6.6
(100/x)*x=(9.8/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4848484848485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4848484848485) to get x
100/1.4848484848485=x
67.34693877551=x
x=67.34693877551

now we have:
6.6 is 67.34693877551% of 9.8
