What is 51.74 percent of 68.99 - 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 68.99 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 68.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 51.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=51.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68.99=100%
2) x=51.74%
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:
68.99/x=100%/51.74%
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 51.74% of 68.99

68.99/x=100/51.74
(68.99/x)*x=(100/51.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68.99=1.932740626208*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.932740626208) to get x
68.99/1.932740626208=x
35.695426=x
x=35.695426

now we have:
51.74% of 68.99=35.695426
