68 is what percent of 980 - 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 980 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 980, so we can write it down as 100%=980.
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%=980
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%=980/68
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 980

100%/x%=980/68
(100/x)*x=(980/68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.411764705882) to get x
100/14.411764705882=x
6.9387755102041=x
x=6.9387755102041

now we have:
68 is 6.9387755102041% of 980
