1.99 is what percent of 69 - 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 69 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 69, so we can write it down as 100%=69.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69
2) x%=1.99
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%=69/1.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.99 is what percent of 69

100%/x%=69/1.99
(100/x)*x=(69/1.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.673366834171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.673366834171) to get x
100/34.673366834171=x
2.8840579710145=x
x=2.8840579710145

now we have:
1.99 is 2.8840579710145% of 69
