68.33 is what percent of 291.84 - 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 291.84 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 291.84, so we can write it down as 100%=291.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=291.84
2) x%=68.33
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%=291.84/68.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.33 is what percent of 291.84

100%/x%=291.84/68.33
(100/x)*x=(291.84/68.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2710376115908*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2710376115908) to get x
100/4.2710376115908=x
23.413514254386=x
x=23.413514254386

now we have:
68.33 is 23.413514254386% of 291.84
