66.79 is what percent of 34.428 - 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 34.428 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 34.428, so we can write it down as 100%=34.428.
4. We know, that x% equals 66.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=66.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.428
2) x%=66.79
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%=34.428/66.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 66.79 is what percent of 34.428

100%/x%=34.428/66.79
(100/x)*x=(34.428/66.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.51546638718371*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.51546638718371) to get x
100/0.51546638718371=x
193.99907052399=x
x=193.99907052399

now we have:
