6.6 is what percent of 147.8 - 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 147.8 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 147.8, so we can write it down as 100%=147.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=147.8
2) x%=6.6
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%=147.8/6.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.6 is what percent of 147.8

100%/x%=147.8/6.6
(100/x)*x=(147.8/6.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.393939393939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.393939393939) to get x
100/22.393939393939=x
4.4654939106901=x
x=4.4654939106901

now we have:
6.6 is 4.4654939106901% of 147.8
