207.63 is what percent of 299.91 - 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 299.91 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 299.91, so we can write it down as 100%=299.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 207.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=207.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=299.91
2) x%=207.63
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%=299.91/207.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 207.63 is what percent of 299.91

100%/x%=299.91/207.63
(100/x)*x=(299.91/207.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4444444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4444444444444) to get x
100/1.4444444444444=x
69.230769230769=x
x=69.230769230769

now we have:
207.63 is 69.230769230769% of 299.91
