6.67 is what percent of 70 - 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 70 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 70, so we can write it down as 100%=70.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=70
2) x%=6.67
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%=70/6.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.67 is what percent of 70

100%/x%=70/6.67
(100/x)*x=(70/6.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.494752623688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.494752623688) to get x
100/10.494752623688=x
9.5285714285714=x
x=9.5285714285714

now we have:
6.67 is 9.5285714285714% of 70
