6.3 is what percent of 36000 - 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 36000 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 36000, so we can write it down as 100%=36000.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36000
2) x%=6.3
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%=36000/6.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.3 is what percent of 36000

100%/x%=36000/6.3
(100/x)*x=(36000/6.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5714.2857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5714.2857142857) to get x
100/5714.2857142857=x
0.0175=x
x=0.0175

now we have:
6.3 is 0.0175% of 36000
