6.83 is what percent of 18.99 - 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 18.99 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 18.99, so we can write it down as 100%=18.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.99
2) x%=6.83
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%=18.99/6.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.83 is what percent of 18.99

100%/x%=18.99/6.83
(100/x)*x=(18.99/6.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7803806734993*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7803806734993) to get x
100/2.7803806734993=x
35.966298051606=x
x=35.966298051606

now we have:
6.83 is 35.966298051606% of 18.99
