68.32 is what percent of 450 - 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 450 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 450, so we can write it down as 100%=450.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=450
2) x%=68.32
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%=450/68.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.32 is what percent of 450

100%/x%=450/68.32
(100/x)*x=(450/68.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5866510538642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5866510538642) to get x
100/6.5866510538642=x
15.182222222222=x
x=15.182222222222

now we have:
68.32 is 15.182222222222% of 450
