600.1 is what percent of 900 - 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 900 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 900, so we can write it down as 100%=900.
4. We know, that x% equals 600.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=600.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=900
2) x%=600.1
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%=900/600.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 600.1 is what percent of 900

100%/x%=900/600.1
(100/x)*x=(900/600.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4997500416597*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4997500416597) to get x
100/1.4997500416597=x
66.677777777778=x
x=66.677777777778

now we have:
600.1 is 66.677777777778% of 900
