6 is what percent of 0.0239 - 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 0.0239 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 0.0239, so we can write it down as 100%=0.0239.
4. We know, that x% equals 6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.0239
2) x%=6
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%=0.0239/6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6 is what percent of 0.0239

100%/x%=0.0239/6
(100/x)*x=(0.0239/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0039833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0039833333333333) to get x
100/0.0039833333333333=x
25104.60251046=x
x=25104.60251046

now we have:
6 is 25104.60251046% of 0.0239
