67 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
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%=1500
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%=1500/67
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 1500

100%/x%=1500/67
(100/x)*x=(1500/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.388059701493*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.388059701493) to get x
100/22.388059701493=x
4.4666666666667=x
x=4.4666666666667

now we have:
67 is 4.4666666666667% of 1500
