66 is what percent of 969 - 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 969 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 969, so we can write it down as 100%=969.
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%=969
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%=969/66
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 969

100%/x%=969/66
(100/x)*x=(969/66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.681818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.681818181818) to get x
100/14.681818181818=x
6.8111455108359=x
x=6.8111455108359

now we have:
66 is 6.8111455108359% of 969
