67.76 is what percent of 1216 - 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 1216 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 1216, so we can write it down as 100%=1216.
4. We know, that x% equals 67.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1216
2) x%=67.76
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%=1216/67.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.76 is what percent of 1216

100%/x%=1216/67.76
(100/x)*x=(1216/67.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.945690672963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.945690672963) to get x
100/17.945690672963=x
5.5723684210526=x
x=5.5723684210526

now we have:
67.76 is 5.5723684210526% of 1216
