68.25 is what percent of 112.28 - 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 112.28 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 112.28, so we can write it down as 100%=112.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=112.28
2) x%=68.25
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%=112.28/68.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.25 is what percent of 112.28

100%/x%=112.28/68.25
(100/x)*x=(112.28/68.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6451282051282*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6451282051282) to get x
100/1.6451282051282=x
60.785536159601=x
x=60.785536159601

now we have:
68.25 is 60.785536159601% of 112.28
