What is 6.09 percent of 150 - 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 150 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 150 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150=100%
2) x=6.09%
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:
150/x=100%/6.09%
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 6.09% of 150

150/x=100/6.09
(150/x)*x=(100/6.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150=16.420361247947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.420361247947) to get x
150/16.420361247947=x
9.135=x
x=9.135

now we have:
6.09% of 150=9.135
