0.1 is what percent of 1.63 - 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 1.63 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 1.63, so we can write it down as 100%=1.63.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.63
2) x%=0.1
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%=1.63/0.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.1 is what percent of 1.63

100%/x%=1.63/0.1
(100/x)*x=(1.63/0.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.3*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.3) to get x
100/16.3=x
6.1349693251534=x
x=6.1349693251534

now we have:
0.1 is 6.1349693251534% of 1.63
