65.2 is what percent of 61.94 - 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 61.94 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 61.94, so we can write it down as 100%=61.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=61.94
2) x%=65.2
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%=61.94/65.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.2 is what percent of 61.94

100%/x%=61.94/65.2
(100/x)*x=(61.94/65.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.95*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.95) to get x
100/0.95=x
105.26315789474=x
x=105.26315789474

now we have:
65.2 is 105.26315789474% of 61.94
