64.92 is what percent of 297 - 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 297 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 297, so we can write it down as 100%=297.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=297
2) x%=64.92
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%=297/64.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.92 is what percent of 297

100%/x%=297/64.92
(100/x)*x=(297/64.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5748613678373*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5748613678373) to get x
100/4.5748613678373=x
21.858585858586=x
x=21.858585858586

now we have:
64.92 is 21.858585858586% of 297
