67.72 is what percent of 347 - 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 347 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 347, so we can write it down as 100%=347.
4. We know, that x% equals 67.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=347
2) x%=67.72
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%=347/67.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.72 is what percent of 347

100%/x%=347/67.72
(100/x)*x=(347/67.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1240401653869*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1240401653869) to get x
100/5.1240401653869=x
19.515850144092=x
x=19.515850144092

now we have:
67.72 is 19.515850144092% of 347
