65.15 is what percent of 94.5 - 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 94.5 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 94.5, so we can write it down as 100%=94.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.5
2) x%=65.15
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%=94.5/65.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.15 is what percent of 94.5

100%/x%=94.5/65.15
(100/x)*x=(94.5/65.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4504988488104*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4504988488104) to get x
100/1.4504988488104=x
68.941798941799=x
x=68.941798941799

now we have:
65.15 is 68.941798941799% of 94.5
