61.67 is what percent of 81.99 - 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 81.99 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 81.99, so we can write it down as 100%=81.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=81.99
2) x%=61.67
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%=81.99/61.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.67 is what percent of 81.99

100%/x%=81.99/61.67
(100/x)*x=(81.99/61.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.329495702935*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.329495702935) to get x
100/1.329495702935=x
75.216489815831=x
x=75.216489815831

now we have:
61.67 is 75.216489815831% of 81.99
