67 is what percent of 1471 - 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 1471 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 1471, so we can write it down as 100%=1471.
4. We know, that x% equals 67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1471
2) x%=67
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%=1471/67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67 is what percent of 1471

100%/x%=1471/67
(100/x)*x=(1471/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.955223880597*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.955223880597) to get x
100/21.955223880597=x
4.5547246770904=x
x=4.5547246770904

now we have:
67 is 4.5547246770904% of 1471
