47.6 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 47.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66.67
2) x%=47.6
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%=66.67/47.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.6 is what percent of 66.67

100%/x%=66.67/47.6
(100/x)*x=(66.67/47.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4006302521008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4006302521008) to get x
100/1.4006302521008=x
71.396430178491=x
x=71.396430178491

now we have:
47.6 is 71.396430178491% of 66.67
