69.88 is what percent of 227.89 - 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 227.89 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 227.89, so we can write it down as 100%=227.89.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=227.89
2) x%=69.88
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%=227.89/69.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.88 is what percent of 227.89

100%/x%=227.89/69.88
(100/x)*x=(227.89/69.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2611619919863*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2611619919863) to get x
100/3.2611619919863=x
30.663916801966=x
x=30.663916801966

now we have:
