68.4 is what percent of 839.88 - 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 839.88 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 839.88, so we can write it down as 100%=839.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=839.88
2) x%=68.4
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%=839.88/68.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.4 is what percent of 839.88

100%/x%=839.88/68.4
(100/x)*x=(839.88/68.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.278947368421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.278947368421) to get x
100/12.278947368421=x
8.1440205743678=x
x=8.1440205743678

now we have:
68.4 is 8.1440205743678% of 839.88
