69.45 is what percent of 139.44 - 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 139.44 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 139.44, so we can write it down as 100%=139.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=139.44
2) x%=69.45
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%=139.44/69.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.45 is what percent of 139.44

100%/x%=139.44/69.45
(100/x)*x=(139.44/69.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0077753779698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0077753779698) to get x
100/2.0077753779698=x
49.806368330465=x
x=49.806368330465

now we have:
69.45 is 49.806368330465% of 139.44
