67 is what percent of 2081 - 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 2081 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 2081, so we can write it down as 100%=2081.
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%=2081
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%=2081/67
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 2081

100%/x%=2081/67
(100/x)*x=(2081/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.059701492537*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.059701492537) to get x
100/31.059701492537=x
3.2196059586737=x
x=3.2196059586737

now we have:
67 is 3.2196059586737% of 2081
