6806.59 is what percent of 10700 - 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 10700 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 10700, so we can write it down as 100%=10700.
4. We know, that x% equals 6806.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6806.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10700
2) x%=6806.59
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%=10700/6806.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6806.59 is what percent of 10700

100%/x%=10700/6806.59
(100/x)*x=(10700/6806.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5720059530543*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5720059530543) to get x
100/1.5720059530543=x
63.612990654206=x
x=63.612990654206

now we have:
