6.93 is what percent of 462.97 - 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 462.97 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 462.97, so we can write it down as 100%=462.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=462.97
2) x%=6.93
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%=462.97/6.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.93 is what percent of 462.97

100%/x%=462.97/6.93
(100/x)*x=(462.97/6.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.806637806638*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.806637806638) to get x
100/66.806637806638=x
1.4968572477698=x
x=1.4968572477698

now we have:
6.93 is 1.4968572477698% of 462.97
