69.96 is what percent of 276.93 - 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 276.93 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 276.93, so we can write it down as 100%=276.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 69.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=276.93
2) x%=69.96
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%=276.93/69.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69.96 is what percent of 276.93

100%/x%=276.93/69.96
(100/x)*x=(276.93/69.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9584048027444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9584048027444) to get x
100/3.9584048027444=x
25.262701765789=x
x=25.262701765789

now we have:
69.96 is 25.262701765789% of 276.93
