37.24 is what percent of 66.67 - 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 66.67 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 66.67, so we can write it down as 100%=66.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66.67
2) x%=37.24
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%=66.67/37.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.24 is what percent of 66.67

100%/x%=66.67/37.24
(100/x)*x=(66.67/37.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7902792696026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7902792696026) to get x
100/1.7902792696026=x
55.857207139643=x
x=55.857207139643

now we have:
37.24 is 55.857207139643% of 66.67
