69 is what percent of 3892 - 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 3892 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 3892, so we can write it down as 100%=3892.
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%=3892
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%=3892/69
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 3892

100%/x%=3892/69
(100/x)*x=(3892/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.405797101449*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.405797101449) to get x
100/56.405797101449=x
1.7728674203494=x
x=1.7728674203494

now we have:
69 is 1.7728674203494% of 3892
