1949.35 is what percent of 699.99 - 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 699.99 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 699.99, so we can write it down as 100%=699.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 1949.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1949.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=699.99
2) x%=1949.35
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%=699.99/1949.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1949.35 is what percent of 699.99
