69.16 is what percent of 80 - 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 80 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 80, so we can write it down as 100%=80.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80
2) x%=69.16
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%=80/69.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.16 is what percent of 80

100%/x%=80/69.16
(100/x)*x=(80/69.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1567379988433*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1567379988433) to get x
100/1.1567379988433=x
86.45=x
x=86.45

now we have:
69.16 is 86.45% of 80
