6.7 is what percent of 296500 - 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 296500 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 296500, so we can write it down as 100%=296500.
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%=296500
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%=296500/6.7
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 296500

100%/x%=296500/6.7
(100/x)*x=(296500/6.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44253.731343284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44253.731343284) to get x
100/44253.731343284=x
0.0022596964586847=x
x=0.0022596964586847

now we have:
6.7 is 0.0022596964586847% of 296500
