6.7 is what percent of 1140.05 - 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 1140.05 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 1140.05, so we can write it down as 100%=1140.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1140.05
2) x%=6.7
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%=1140.05/6.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.7 is what percent of 1140.05

100%/x%=1140.05/6.7
(100/x)*x=(1140.05/6.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=170.15671641791*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (170.15671641791) to get x
100/170.15671641791=x
0.58769352221394=x
x=0.58769352221394

now we have:
6.7 is 0.58769352221394% of 1140.05
