99 is what percent of 7068 - 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 7068 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 7068, so we can write it down as 100%=7068.
4. We know, that x% equals 99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7068
2) x%=99
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%=7068/99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99 is what percent of 7068

100%/x%=7068/99
(100/x)*x=(7068/99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=71.393939393939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.393939393939) to get x
100/71.393939393939=x
1.4006791171477=x
x=1.4006791171477

now we have:
99 is 1.4006791171477% of 7068
