68 is what percent of 28.492 - 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 28.492 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 28.492, so we can write it down as 100%=28.492.
4. We know, that x% equals 68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.492
2) x%=68
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%=28.492/68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68 is what percent of 28.492

100%/x%=28.492/68
(100/x)*x=(28.492/68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.419*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.419) to get x
100/0.419=x
238.66348448687=x
x=238.66348448687

now we have:
68 is 238.66348448687% of 28.492
