68.25 is what percent of 836.5 - 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 836.5 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 836.5, so we can write it down as 100%=836.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=836.5
2) x%=68.25
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%=836.5/68.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.25 is what percent of 836.5

100%/x%=836.5/68.25
(100/x)*x=(836.5/68.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.25641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.25641025641) to get x
100/12.25641025641=x
8.1589958158996=x
x=8.1589958158996

now we have:
68.25 is 8.1589958158996% of 836.5
