68 is what percent of 4565 - 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 4565 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 4565, so we can write it down as 100%=4565.
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%=4565
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%=4565/68
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 4565

100%/x%=4565/68
(100/x)*x=(4565/68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.132352941176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.132352941176) to get x
100/67.132352941176=x
1.4895947426068=x
x=1.4895947426068

now we have:
68 is 1.4895947426068% of 4565
