89.99 is what percent of 6305 - 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 6305 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 6305, so we can write it down as 100%=6305.
4. We know, that x% equals 89.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6305
2) x%=89.99
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%=6305/89.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89.99 is what percent of 6305

100%/x%=6305/89.99
(100/x)*x=(6305/89.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=70.063340371152*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.063340371152) to get x
100/70.063340371152=x
1.4272799365583=x
x=1.4272799365583

now we have:
89.99 is 1.4272799365583% of 6305
