61.18 is what percent of 99.75 - 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 99.75 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 99.75, so we can write it down as 100%=99.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=99.75
2) x%=61.18
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%=99.75/61.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.18 is what percent of 99.75

100%/x%=99.75/61.18
(100/x)*x=(99.75/61.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6304347826087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6304347826087) to get x
100/1.6304347826087=x
61.333333333333=x
x=61.333333333333

now we have:
61.18 is 61.333333333333% of 99.75
