89 is what percent of 6019 - 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 6019 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 6019, so we can write it down as 100%=6019.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6019
2) x%=89
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%=6019/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 6019

100%/x%=6019/89
(100/x)*x=(6019/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.629213483146*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.629213483146) to get x
100/67.629213483146=x
1.4786509386941=x
x=1.4786509386941

now we have:
89 is 1.4786509386941% of 6019
