6 is what percent of 47178 - 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 47178 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 47178, so we can write it down as 100%=47178.
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%=47178
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%=47178/6
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 47178

100%/x%=47178/6
(100/x)*x=(47178/6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7863*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7863) to get x
100/7863=x
0.012717792191276=x
x=0.012717792191276

now we have:
6 is 0.012717792191276% of 47178
