66.5 is what percent of 699.99 - 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 699.99 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 699.99, so we can write it down as 100%=699.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 66.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=66.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=699.99
2) x%=66.5
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%=699.99/66.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 66.5 is what percent of 699.99

100%/x%=699.99/66.5
(100/x)*x=(699.99/66.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.526165413534*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.526165413534) to get x
100/10.526165413534=x
9.5001357162245=x
x=9.5001357162245

now we have:
66.5 is 9.5001357162245% of 699.99
