68.43 is what percent of 320.22 - 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 320.22 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 320.22, so we can write it down as 100%=320.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=320.22
2) x%=68.43
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%=320.22/68.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.43 is what percent of 320.22

100%/x%=320.22/68.43
(100/x)*x=(320.22/68.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6795265234546*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6795265234546) to get x
100/4.6795265234546=x
21.369683342702=x
x=21.369683342702

now we have:
68.43 is 21.369683342702% of 320.22
