43.44 is what percent of 66.97 - 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 66.97 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 66.97, so we can write it down as 100%=66.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66.97
2) x%=43.44
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%=66.97/43.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.44 is what percent of 66.97

100%/x%=66.97/43.44
(100/x)*x=(66.97/43.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5416666666667) to get x
100/1.5416666666667=x
64.864864864865=x
x=64.864864864865

now we have:
43.44 is 64.864864864865% of 66.97
