1699.88 is what percent of 3294 - 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 3294 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 3294, so we can write it down as 100%=3294.
4. We know, that x% equals 1699.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1699.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3294
2) x%=1699.88
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%=3294/1699.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1699.88 is what percent of 3294

100%/x%=3294/1699.88
(100/x)*x=(3294/1699.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9377838435654*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9377838435654) to get x
100/1.9377838435654=x
51.605343047966=x
x=51.605343047966

now we have:
