64.54 is what percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700, so we can write it down as 100%=700.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=700
2) x%=64.54
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%=700/64.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.54 is what percent of 700

100%/x%=700/64.54
(100/x)*x=(700/64.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.845986984816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.845986984816) to get x
100/10.845986984816=x
9.22=x
x=9.22

now we have:
64.54 is 9.22% of 700
