6.9 is what percent of 17.33 - 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 17.33 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 17.33, so we can write it down as 100%=17.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.33
2) x%=6.9
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%=17.33/6.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.9 is what percent of 17.33

100%/x%=17.33/6.9
(100/x)*x=(17.33/6.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5115942028986*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5115942028986) to get x
100/2.5115942028986=x
39.815349105597=x
x=39.815349105597

now we have:
6.9 is 39.815349105597% of 17.33
