6.39 is what percent of 4.47 - 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 4.47 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 4.47, so we can write it down as 100%=4.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.47
2) x%=6.39
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%=4.47/6.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.39 is what percent of 4.47

100%/x%=4.47/6.39
(100/x)*x=(4.47/6.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.69953051643192*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.69953051643192) to get x
100/0.69953051643192=x
142.95302013423=x
x=142.95302013423

now we have:
6.39 is 142.95302013423% of 4.47
