67 is what percent of 2506 - 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 2506 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 2506, so we can write it down as 100%=2506.
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%=2506
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%=2506/67
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 2506

100%/x%=2506/67
(100/x)*x=(2506/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.402985074627*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.402985074627) to get x
100/37.402985074627=x
2.6735833998404=x
x=2.6735833998404

now we have:
67 is 2.6735833998404% of 2506
