69.4 is what percent of 91.7 - 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 91.7 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 91.7, so we can write it down as 100%=91.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=91.7
2) x%=69.4
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%=91.7/69.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.4 is what percent of 91.7

100%/x%=91.7/69.4
(100/x)*x=(91.7/69.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.321325648415*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.321325648415) to get x
100/1.321325648415=x
75.681570338059=x
x=75.681570338059

now we have:
69.4 is 75.681570338059% of 91.7
