61.75 is what percent of 91 - 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 91 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 91, so we can write it down as 100%=91.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=91
2) x%=61.75
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%=91/61.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.75 is what percent of 91

100%/x%=91/61.75
(100/x)*x=(91/61.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4736842105263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4736842105263) to get x
100/1.4736842105263=x
67.857142857143=x
x=67.857142857143

now we have:
61.75 is 67.857142857143% of 91
