69.9 is what percent of 453.38 - 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 453.38 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 453.38, so we can write it down as 100%=453.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=453.38
2) x%=69.9
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%=453.38/69.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.9 is what percent of 453.38

100%/x%=453.38/69.9
(100/x)*x=(453.38/69.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.4861230329041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4861230329041) to get x
100/6.4861230329041=x
15.417530548326=x
x=15.417530548326

now we have:
69.9 is 15.417530548326% of 453.38
