6493.22 is what percent of 23900 - 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 23900 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 23900, so we can write it down as 100%=23900.
4. We know, that x% equals 6493.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6493.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23900
2) x%=6493.22
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%=23900/6493.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6493.22 is what percent of 23900

100%/x%=23900/6493.22
(100/x)*x=(23900/6493.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6807623952369*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6807623952369) to get x
100/3.6807623952369=x
27.168284518828=x
x=27.168284518828

now we have:
