69.42 is what percent of 1203.6 - 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 1203.6 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 1203.6, so we can write it down as 100%=1203.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.42 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.42.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1203.6
2) x%=69.42
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%=1203.6/69.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.42 is what percent of 1203.6

100%/x%=1203.6/69.42
(100/x)*x=(1203.6/69.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.33794295592*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.33794295592) to get x
100/17.33794295592=x
5.7676969092722=x
x=5.7676969092722

now we have:
69.42 is 5.7676969092722% of 1203.6
