69.34 is what percent of 412.5 - 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 412.5 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 412.5, so we can write it down as 100%=412.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=412.5
2) x%=69.34
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%=412.5/69.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.34 is what percent of 412.5

100%/x%=412.5/69.34
(100/x)*x=(412.5/69.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9489472166138*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9489472166138) to get x
100/5.9489472166138=x
16.809696969697=x
x=16.809696969697

now we have:
69.34 is 16.809696969697% of 412.5
