61.69 is what percent of 129 - 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 129 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 129, so we can write it down as 100%=129.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=129
2) x%=61.69
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%=129/61.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.69 is what percent of 129

100%/x%=129/61.69
(100/x)*x=(129/61.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0911006646134*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0911006646134) to get x
100/2.0911006646134=x
47.821705426357=x
x=47.821705426357

now we have:
61.69 is 47.821705426357% of 129
