6107 is what percent of 50217 - 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 50217 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 50217, so we can write it down as 100%=50217.
4. We know, that x% equals 6107 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6107.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50217
2) x%=6107
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%=50217/6107
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6107 is what percent of 50217

100%/x%=50217/6107
(100/x)*x=(50217/6107)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.2228590142459*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2228590142459) to get x
100/8.2228590142459=x
12.161220303881=x
x=12.161220303881

now we have:
6107 is 12.161220303881% of 50217
