6.68 is what percent of 461.54 - 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 461.54 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 461.54, so we can write it down as 100%=461.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=461.54
2) x%=6.68
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%=461.54/6.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.68 is what percent of 461.54

100%/x%=461.54/6.68
(100/x)*x=(461.54/6.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=69.092814371257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.092814371257) to get x
100/69.092814371257=x
1.447328508905=x
x=1.447328508905

now we have:
6.68 is 1.447328508905% of 461.54
