664,579 = (x/100) * 10^7;
664, 579 = x * 10^5
=> x = 664, 579/10^5 = 6.64579 ~ 6.6%

Ans is (D).

100,000 is 1 % of 10,000,000 hence 664,579 will be approx. 6.6% of 10,000,000.

664,579 / 10,000,000 *100 =x%

you can reduce the 10 million by 100, so that you only have 100,000 in the denominator. Now, bot the nominator and denominator have the same amount of digits and from this point you can ask yourself how much for e.g. 664/100 is. The solution is 6,64 or in this case 6,6%

Hence option (D).

Hello from the GMAT Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
