What is 20.69 percent of 68 - 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 68 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 68 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68=100%
2) x=20.69%
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:
68/x=100%/20.69%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 20.69% of 68

68/x=100/20.69
(68/x)*x=(100/20.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68=4.8332527791203*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8332527791203) to get x
68/4.8332527791203=x
14.0692=x
x=14.0692

now we have:
20.69% of 68=14.0692
