What is 6.06 percent of 197.38 - 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 197.38 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 197.38 is 100%, so we can write it down as 197.38=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.06% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.06%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 197.38=100%
2) x=6.06%
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:
197.38/x=100%/6.06%
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 6.06% of 197.38

197.38/x=100/6.06
(197.38/x)*x=(100/6.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
197.38=16.501650165017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.501650165017) to get x
197.38/16.501650165017=x
11.961228=x
x=11.961228

now we have:
6.06% of 197.38=11.961228
