67 is what percent of 2.9 - 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 2.9 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 2.9, so we can write it down as 100%=2.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.9
2) x%=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%=2.9/67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67 is what percent of 2.9

100%/x%=2.9/67
(100/x)*x=(2.9/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.043283582089552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.043283582089552) to get x
100/0.043283582089552=x
2310.3448275862=x
x=2310.3448275862

now we have:
67 is 2310.3448275862% of 2.9
