69 is what percent of 1878.16 - 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 1878.16 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 1878.16, so we can write it down as 100%=1878.16.
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%=1878.16
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%=1878.16/69
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 1878.16

100%/x%=1878.16/69
(100/x)*x=(1878.16/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.219710144928*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.219710144928) to get x
100/27.219710144928=x
3.6738084082293=x
x=3.6738084082293

now we have:
69 is 3.6738084082293% of 1878.16
