81 is what percent of 6298 - 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 6298 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 6298, so we can write it down as 100%=6298.
4. We know, that x% equals 81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6298
2) x%=81
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%=6298/81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81 is what percent of 6298

100%/x%=6298/81
(100/x)*x=(6298/81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=77.753086419753*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (77.753086419753) to get x
100/77.753086419753=x
1.2861225785964=x
x=1.2861225785964

now we have:
81 is 1.2861225785964% of 6298
