69 is what percent of 1089 - 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 1089 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 1089, so we can write it down as 100%=1089.
4. We know, that x% equals 69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1089
2) x%=69
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%=1089/69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69 is what percent of 1089

100%/x%=1089/69
(100/x)*x=(1089/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.782608695652*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.782608695652) to get x
100/15.782608695652=x
6.33608815427=x
x=6.33608815427

now we have:
69 is 6.33608815427% of 1089
