46.5 is what percent of 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 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 67, so we can write it down as 100%=67.
4. We know, that x% equals 46.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=46.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67
2) x%=46.5
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%=67/46.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 46.5 is what percent of 67

100%/x%=67/46.5
(100/x)*x=(67/46.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4408602150538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4408602150538) to get x
100/1.4408602150538=x
69.402985074627=x
x=69.402985074627

now we have:
46.5 is 69.402985074627% of 67
