99.99 is what percent of 67.79 - 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 67.79 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 67.79, so we can write it down as 100%=67.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 99.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.79
2) x%=99.99
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%=67.79/99.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99.99 is what percent of 67.79

100%/x%=67.79/99.99
(100/x)*x=(67.79/99.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.67796779677968*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.67796779677968) to get x
100/0.67796779677968=x
147.49963121404=x
x=147.49963121404

now we have:
99.99 is 147.49963121404% of 67.79
