69.9 is what percent of 475500 - 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 475500 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 475500, so we can write it down as 100%=475500.
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%=475500
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%=475500/69.9
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 475500

100%/x%=475500/69.9
(100/x)*x=(475500/69.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6802.5751072961*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6802.5751072961) to get x
100/6802.5751072961=x
0.014700315457413=x
x=0.014700315457413

now we have:
69.9 is 0.014700315457413% of 475500
