6.8 is what percent of 67.5 - 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 67.5 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 67.5, so we can write it down as 100%=67.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.5
2) x%=6.8
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%=67.5/6.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.8 is what percent of 67.5

100%/x%=67.5/6.8
(100/x)*x=(67.5/6.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.9264705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.9264705882353) to get x
100/9.9264705882353=x
10.074074074074=x
x=10.074074074074

now we have:
6.8 is 10.074074074074% of 67.5
