696.67 is what percent of 900 - 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 900 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 900, so we can write it down as 100%=900.
4. We know, that x% equals 696.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=696.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=900
2) x%=696.67
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%=900/696.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 696.67 is what percent of 900

100%/x%=900/696.67
(100/x)*x=(900/696.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2918598475605*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2918598475605) to get x
100/1.2918598475605=x
77.407777777778=x
x=77.407777777778

now we have:
696.67 is 77.407777777778% of 900
