What is 6.3636363636364 percent of 949 - 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 949 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 949 is 100%, so we can write it down as 949=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.3636363636364% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.3636363636364%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 949=100%
2) x=6.3636363636364%
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:
949/x=100%/6.3636363636364%
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 6.3636363636364% of 949

949/x=100/6.3636363636364
(949/x)*x=(100/6.3636363636364)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
949=15.714285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.714285714286) to get x
949/15.714285714286=x
60.390909090909=x
x=60.390909090909

now we have:
6.3636363636364% of 949=60.390909090909
