0.67 is what percent of 1.67 - 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 1.67 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 1.67, so we can write it down as 100%=1.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.67
2) x%=0.67
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%=1.67/0.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.67 is what percent of 1.67

100%/x%=1.67/0.67
(100/x)*x=(1.67/0.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4925373134328*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4925373134328) to get x
100/2.4925373134328=x
40.119760479042=x
x=40.119760479042

now we have:
0.67 is 40.119760479042% of 1.67
