86 is what percent of 67 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=67.
4. We know, that x% equals 86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67
2) x%=86
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%=67/86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 86 is what percent of 67

100%/x%=67/86
(100/x)*x=(67/86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.779069767442*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.779069767442) to get x
100/0.779069767442=x
128.358208955=x
x=128.358208955

now we have:
86 is 128.358208955% of 67
