69.62 is what percent of 3479 - 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 3479 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 3479, so we can write it down as 100%=3479.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3479
2) x%=69.62
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%=3479/69.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.62 is what percent of 3479

100%/x%=3479/69.62
(100/x)*x=(3479/69.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.97127262281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.97127262281) to get x
100/49.97127262281=x
2.0011497556769=x
x=2.0011497556769

now we have:
69.62 is 2.0011497556769% of 3479
