6.24 is what percent of 45.37 - 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 45.37 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 45.37, so we can write it down as 100%=45.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45.37
2) x%=6.24
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%=45.37/6.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.24 is what percent of 45.37

100%/x%=45.37/6.24
(100/x)*x=(45.37/6.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2708333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2708333333333) to get x
100/7.2708333333333=x
13.753581661891=x
x=13.753581661891

now we have:
6.24 is 13.753581661891% of 45.37
