6.99 is what percent of 4.19 - 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 4.19 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 4.19, so we can write it down as 100%=4.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.19
2) x%=6.99
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%=4.19/6.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.99 is what percent of 4.19

100%/x%=4.19/6.99
(100/x)*x=(4.19/6.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.59942775393419*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.59942775393419) to get x
100/0.59942775393419=x
166.82577565632=x
x=166.82577565632

now we have:
6.99 is 166.82577565632% of 4.19
