67 is what percent of 6489 - 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 6489 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 6489, so we can write it down as 100%=6489.
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%=6489
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%=6489/67
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 6489

100%/x%=6489/67
(100/x)*x=(6489/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=96.850746268657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (96.850746268657) to get x
100/96.850746268657=x
1.0325165664971=x
x=1.0325165664971

now we have:
67 is 1.0325165664971% of 6489
