What is 6.66666666667 percent of 15.1 - 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 15.1 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 15.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.66666666667% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.66666666667%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.1=100%
2) x=6.66666666667%
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:
15.1/x=100%/6.66666666667%
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 6.66666666667% of 15.1

15.1/x=100/6.66666666667
(15.1/x)*x=(100/6.66666666667)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.1=14.999999999993*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.999999999993) to get x
15.1/14.999999999993=x
1.0066666666672=x
x=1.0066666666672

now we have:
6.66666666667% of 15.1=1.0066666666672
