69 is what percent of 584 - 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 584 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 584, so we can write it down as 100%=584.
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%=584
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%=584/69
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 584

100%/x%=584/69
(100/x)*x=(584/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.463768115942*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.463768115942) to get x
100/8.463768115942=x
11.815068493151=x
x=11.815068493151

now we have:
69 is 11.815068493151% of 584
