67 is what percent of 1954 - 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 1954 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 1954, so we can write it down as 100%=1954.
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%=1954
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%=1954/67
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 1954

100%/x%=1954/67
(100/x)*x=(1954/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.164179104478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.164179104478) to get x
100/29.164179104478=x
3.4288638689867=x
x=3.4288638689867

now we have:
67 is 3.4288638689867% of 1954
