69 is what percent of 338 - 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 338 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 338, so we can write it down as 100%=338.
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%=338
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%=338/69
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 338

100%/x%=338/69
(100/x)*x=(338/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8985507246377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8985507246377) to get x
100/4.8985507246377=x
20.414201183432=x
x=20.414201183432

now we have:
69 is 20.414201183432% of 338
