67 is what percent of 3154 - 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 3154 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 3154, so we can write it down as 100%=3154.
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%=3154
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%=3154/67
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 3154

100%/x%=3154/67
(100/x)*x=(3154/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.074626865672*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.074626865672) to get x
100/47.074626865672=x
2.1242866201649=x
x=2.1242866201649

now we have:
67 is 2.1242866201649% of 3154
