60.75 is what percent of 65 - 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 65 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 65, so we can write it down as 100%=65.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=65
2) x%=60.75
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%=65/60.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.75 is what percent of 65

100%/x%=65/60.75
(100/x)*x=(65/60.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0699588477366*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0699588477366) to get x
100/1.0699588477366=x
93.461538461538=x
x=93.461538461538

now we have:
60.75 is 93.461538461538% of 65
