20.69 is what percent of 1520.83 - 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 1520.83 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 1520.83, so we can write it down as 100%=1520.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1520.83
2) x%=20.69
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%=1520.83/20.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.69 is what percent of 1520.83

100%/x%=1520.83/20.69
(100/x)*x=(1520.83/20.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=73.505558240696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (73.505558240696) to get x
100/73.505558240696=x
1.3604413379536=x
x=1.3604413379536

now we have:
