Question

6.246/X x 100 = 5%

it's 6.246 over X times 100 = 5 %, what is X?

Answer 1

yes, it's like in the pic

Answer 2

You can use the equation editor (see button on the lower left below the input area.
is this what you mean
\[ \frac{6.246}{x}⋅100=5\% \]

Answer 3

change 5% to 0.05 or 5/100
multiply both sides by x
you get
\[ 6.246 \cdot 100 = 0.05 x \]
simplify the left side
\[ 624.6 = 0.05 x\]
divide both sides by 0.05

Answer 4

why would you change that to .005 if the times 100 was already there to change it into a percent?

Answer 5

I was solving what you wrote.

Is the question is 6.246 is 5% of what number ?

Answer 6

no. i was just given the equation written, no question.

Answer 7

I got 124.92 as answer

Answer 8

if 124.92 is the answer, then it is clearer to say
\[ \frac{6.246}{x}= 0.05 \]

Answer 9

yeah I think it's the same as that

Answer 10

you could write it
\[ \frac{6.246}{x} = 5\% \]
but that is not as clear

you could also write it as
\[ \frac{6.246}{x}\cdot 100 = 5 \]
