90 is what percent of 6071.2 - 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 6071.2 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 6071.2, so we can write it down as 100%=6071.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 90 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6071.2
2) x%=90
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%=6071.2/90
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90 is what percent of 6071.2

100%/x%=6071.2/90
(100/x)*x=(6071.2/90)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.457777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.457777777778) to get x
100/67.457777777778=x
1.4824087495059=x
x=1.4824087495059

now we have:
90 is 1.4824087495059% of 6071.2
