68.31 is what percent of 84.75 - 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 84.75 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 84.75, so we can write it down as 100%=84.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=84.75
2) x%=68.31
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%=84.75/68.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.31 is what percent of 84.75

100%/x%=84.75/68.31
(100/x)*x=(84.75/68.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2406675450154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2406675450154) to get x
100/1.2406675450154=x
80.601769911504=x
x=80.601769911504

now we have:
68.31 is 80.601769911504% of 84.75
