2.68 is what percent of 69.96 - 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 69.96 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 69.96, so we can write it down as 100%=69.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69.96
2) x%=2.68
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%=69.96/2.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.68 is what percent of 69.96

100%/x%=69.96/2.68
(100/x)*x=(69.96/2.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.10447761194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.10447761194) to get x
100/26.10447761194=x
3.830760434534=x
x=3.830760434534

now we have:
2.68 is 3.830760434534% of 69.96
