What is 1.22 percent of 6.1 - 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 6.1 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 6.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.22% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.22%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.1=100%
2) x=1.22%
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:
6.1/x=100%/1.22%
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 1.22% of 6.1

6.1/x=100/1.22
(6.1/x)*x=(100/1.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.1=81.967213114754*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (81.967213114754) to get x
6.1/81.967213114754=x
0.07442=x
x=0.07442

now we have:
1.22% of 6.1=0.07442
