69.83 is what percent of 201 - 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 201 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 201, so we can write it down as 100%=201.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=201
2) x%=69.83
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%=201/69.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.83 is what percent of 201

100%/x%=201/69.83
(100/x)*x=(201/69.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8784190176142*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8784190176142) to get x
100/2.8784190176142=x
34.741293532338=x
x=34.741293532338

now we have:
69.83 is 34.741293532338% of 201
