68.99 is what percent of 51.74 - 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 51.74 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 51.74, so we can write it down as 100%=51.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=51.74
2) x%=68.99
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%=51.74/68.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.99 is what percent of 51.74

100%/x%=51.74/68.99
(100/x)*x=(51.74/68.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.74996376286418*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74996376286418) to get x
100/0.74996376286418=x
133.33977580209=x
x=133.33977580209

now we have:
68.99 is 133.33977580209% of 51.74
