64.99 is what percent of 94.99 - 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 94.99 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 94.99, so we can write it down as 100%=94.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.99
2) x%=64.99
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%=94.99/64.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.99 is what percent of 94.99

100%/x%=94.99/64.99
(100/x)*x=(94.99/64.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4616094783813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4616094783813) to get x
100/1.4616094783813=x
68.417728181914=x
x=68.417728181914

now we have:
64.99 is 68.417728181914% of 94.99
