67.2 is what percent of 9600 - 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 9600 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 9600, so we can write it down as 100%=9600.
4. We know, that x% equals 67.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9600
2) x%=67.2
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%=9600/67.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.2 is what percent of 9600

100%/x%=9600/67.2
(100/x)*x=(9600/67.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=142.85714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (142.85714285714) to get x
100/142.85714285714=x
0.7=x
x=0.7

now we have:
67.2 is 0.7% of 9600
