What is 6.37 percent of 491.22 - 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 491.22 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 491.22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 491.22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.37% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.37%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 491.22=100%
2) x=6.37%
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:
491.22/x=100%/6.37%
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 6.37% of 491.22

491.22/x=100/6.37
(491.22/x)*x=(100/6.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
491.22=15.698587127159*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.698587127159) to get x
491.22/15.698587127159=x
31.290714=x
x=31.290714

now we have:
6.37% of 491.22=31.290714
