68 is what percent of 9543 - 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 9543 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 9543, so we can write it down as 100%=9543.
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%=9543
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%=9543/68
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 9543

100%/x%=9543/68
(100/x)*x=(9543/68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=140.33823529412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (140.33823529412) to get x
100/140.33823529412=x
0.71256418317091=x
x=0.71256418317091

now we have:
68 is 0.71256418317091% of 9543
