66 is what percent of 3908.13 - 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 3908.13 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 3908.13, so we can write it down as 100%=3908.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3908.13
2) x%=66
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%=3908.13/66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 66 is what percent of 3908.13

100%/x%=3908.13/66
(100/x)*x=(3908.13/66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=59.214090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (59.214090909091) to get x
100/59.214090909091=x
1.6887872204865=x
x=1.6887872204865

now we have:
