67 is what percent of 850000 - 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 850000 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 850000, so we can write it down as 100%=850000.
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%=850000
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%=850000/67
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 850000

100%/x%=850000/67
(100/x)*x=(850000/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12686.567164179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12686.567164179) to get x
100/12686.567164179=x
0.0078823529411765=x
x=0.0078823529411765

now we have:
67 is 0.0078823529411765% of 850000
