316.45 is what percent of 6096 - 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 6096 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 100% equals 6096, so we can write it down as 100%=6096.
4. We know, that x% equals 316.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=316.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6096
2) x%=316.45
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:
100%/x%=6096/316.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 316.45 is what percent of 6096

100%/x%=6096/316.45
(100/x)*x=(6096/316.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.263706746721*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.263706746721) to get x
100/19.263706746721=x
5.1911089238845=x
x=5.1911089238845

now we have:
316.45 is 5.1911089238845% of 6096
