66 is what percent of 6668 - 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 6668 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 6668, so we can write it down as 100%=6668.
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%=6668
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%=6668/66
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 6668

100%/x%=6668/66
(100/x)*x=(6668/66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=101.0303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.0303030303) to get x
100/101.0303030303=x
0.98980203959208=x
x=0.98980203959208

now we have:
66 is 0.98980203959208% of 6668
