74.6 is what percent of 67.1 - 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 67.1 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 67.1, so we can write it down as 100%=67.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.1
2) x%=74.6
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%=67.1/74.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.6 is what percent of 67.1

100%/x%=67.1/74.6
(100/x)*x=(67.1/74.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.89946380697051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.89946380697051) to get x
100/0.89946380697051=x
111.17734724292=x
x=111.17734724292

now we have:
74.6 is 111.17734724292% of 67.1
