68.2 is what percent of 272.6 - 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 272.6 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 272.6, so we can write it down as 100%=272.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=272.6
2) x%=68.2
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%=272.6/68.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.2 is what percent of 272.6

100%/x%=272.6/68.2
(100/x)*x=(272.6/68.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9970674486804*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9970674486804) to get x
100/3.9970674486804=x
25.018341892883=x
x=25.018341892883

now we have:
68.2 is 25.018341892883% of 272.6
