47.16 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 47.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67
2) x%=47.16
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%=67/47.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.16 is what percent of 67

100%/x%=67/47.16
(100/x)*x=(67/47.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.420695504665*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.420695504665) to get x
100/1.420695504665=x
70.388059701493=x
x=70.388059701493

now we have:
47.16 is 70.388059701493% of 67
