61 is what percent of 6660 - 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 6660 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 6660, so we can write it down as 100%=6660.
4. We know, that x% equals 61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6660
2) x%=61
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%=6660/61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61 is what percent of 6660

100%/x%=6660/61
(100/x)*x=(6660/61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=109.18032786885*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (109.18032786885) to get x
100/109.18032786885=x
0.91591591591592=x
x=0.91591591591592

now we have:
61 is 0.91591591591592% of 6660
