6.75 is what percent of 5.91 - 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 5.91 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 5.91, so we can write it down as 100%=5.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.91
2) x%=6.75
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%=5.91/6.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.75 is what percent of 5.91

100%/x%=5.91/6.75
(100/x)*x=(5.91/6.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.87555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.87555555555556) to get x
100/0.87555555555556=x
114.21319796954=x
x=114.21319796954

now we have:
6.75 is 114.21319796954% of 5.91
