0.62 is what percent of 1.1696 - 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 1.1696 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 1.1696, so we can write it down as 100%=1.1696.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.1696
2) x%=0.62
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%=1.1696/0.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.62 is what percent of 1.1696

100%/x%=1.1696/0.62
(100/x)*x=(1.1696/0.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8864516129032*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8864516129032) to get x
100/1.8864516129032=x
53.009575923393=x
x=53.009575923393

now we have:
0.62 is 53.009575923393% of 1.1696
