What is 62.23 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 62.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68=100%
2) x=62.23%
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%/62.23%
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 62.23% of 68

68/x=100/62.23
(68/x)*x=(100/62.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68=1.6069419893942*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6069419893942) to get x
68/1.6069419893942=x
42.3164=x
x=42.3164

now we have:
62.23% of 68=42.3164
