69.79 is what percent of 102 - 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 102 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 102, so we can write it down as 100%=102.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=102
2) x%=69.79
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%=102/69.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.79 is what percent of 102

100%/x%=102/69.79
(100/x)*x=(102/69.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4615274394612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4615274394612) to get x
100/1.4615274394612=x
68.421568627451=x
x=68.421568627451

now we have:
69.79 is 68.421568627451% of 102
