69.63 is what percent of 79.99 - 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 79.99 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 79.99, so we can write it down as 100%=79.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=79.99
2) x%=69.63
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%=79.99/69.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.63 is what percent of 79.99

100%/x%=79.99/69.63
(100/x)*x=(79.99/69.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1487864426253*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1487864426253) to get x
100/1.1487864426253=x
87.048381047631=x
x=87.048381047631

now we have:
69.63 is 87.048381047631% of 79.99
