What is 1.177 percent of 6 - 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 6 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 6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.177% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.177%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6=100%
2) x=1.177%
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:
6/x=100%/1.177%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.177% of 6

6/x=100/1.177
(6/x)*x=(100/1.177)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6=84.961767204758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.961767204758) to get x
6/84.961767204758=x
0.07062=x
x=0.07062

now we have:
1.177% of 6=0.07062
