9987.5 is what percent of 68671 - 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 68671 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 68671, so we can write it down as 100%=68671.
4. We know, that x% equals 9987.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9987.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=68671
2) x%=9987.5
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%=68671/9987.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9987.5 is what percent of 68671

100%/x%=68671/9987.5
(100/x)*x=(68671/9987.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.8756946182728*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.8756946182728) to get x
100/6.8756946182728=x
14.54398508832=x
x=14.54398508832

now we have:
