6.99 is what percent of 50.91 - 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 50.91 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 50.91, so we can write it down as 100%=50.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50.91
2) x%=6.99
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%=50.91/6.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.99 is what percent of 50.91

100%/x%=50.91/6.99
(100/x)*x=(50.91/6.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2832618025751*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2832618025751) to get x
100/7.2832618025751=x
13.730111962286=x
x=13.730111962286

now we have:
6.99 is 13.730111962286% of 50.91
