602.24 is what percent of 6251 - 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 6251 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 6251, so we can write it down as 100%=6251.
4. We know, that x% equals 602.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=602.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6251
2) x%=602.24
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%=6251/602.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 602.24 is what percent of 6251

100%/x%=6251/602.24
(100/x)*x=(6251/602.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.379582890542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.379582890542) to get x
100/10.379582890542=x
9.634298512238=x
x=9.634298512238

now we have:
602.24 is 9.634298512238% of 6251
