61.65 is what percent of 102.6 - 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 102.6 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 102.6, so we can write it down as 100%=102.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=102.6
2) x%=61.65
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%=102.6/61.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.65 is what percent of 102.6

100%/x%=102.6/61.65
(100/x)*x=(102.6/61.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6642335766423*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6642335766423) to get x
100/1.6642335766423=x
60.087719298246=x
x=60.087719298246

now we have:
61.65 is 60.087719298246% of 102.6
