6.89 is what percent of 2300 - 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 2300 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 2300, so we can write it down as 100%=2300.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2300
2) x%=6.89
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%=2300/6.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.89 is what percent of 2300

100%/x%=2300/6.89
(100/x)*x=(2300/6.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=333.81712626996*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (333.81712626996) to get x
100/333.81712626996=x
0.2995652173913=x
x=0.2995652173913

now we have:
6.89 is 0.2995652173913% of 2300
