692.57 is what percent of 20708 - 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 20708 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 20708, so we can write it down as 100%=20708.
4. We know, that x% equals 692.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=692.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20708
2) x%=692.57
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%=20708/692.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 692.57 is what percent of 20708

100%/x%=20708/692.57
(100/x)*x=(20708/692.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.900226691887*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.900226691887) to get x
100/29.900226691887=x
3.3444562487927=x
x=3.3444562487927

now we have:
692.57 is 3.3444562487927% of 20708
