66.69 is what percent of 164.19 - 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 164.19 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 164.19, so we can write it down as 100%=164.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 66.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=66.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=164.19
2) x%=66.69
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%=164.19/66.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 66.69 is what percent of 164.19

100%/x%=164.19/66.69
(100/x)*x=(164.19/66.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4619883040936*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4619883040936) to get x
100/2.4619883040936=x
40.61757719715=x
x=40.61757719715

now we have:
66.69 is 40.61757719715% of 164.19
