6.64 is what percent of 2521 - 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 2521 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 2521, so we can write it down as 100%=2521.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2521
2) x%=6.64
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%=2521/6.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.64 is what percent of 2521

100%/x%=2521/6.64
(100/x)*x=(2521/6.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=379.6686746988*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (379.6686746988) to get x
100/379.6686746988=x
0.26338754462515=x
x=0.26338754462515

now we have:
6.64 is 0.26338754462515% of 2521
