67.4 is what percent of 109.9 - 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 109.9 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 109.9, so we can write it down as 100%=109.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 67.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=109.9
2) x%=67.4
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%=109.9/67.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.4 is what percent of 109.9

100%/x%=109.9/67.4
(100/x)*x=(109.9/67.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6305637982196*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6305637982196) to get x
100/1.6305637982196=x
61.328480436761=x
x=61.328480436761

now we have:
67.4 is 61.328480436761% of 109.9
