1.03 is what percent of 0.65 - 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 0.65 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 0.65, so we can write it down as 100%=0.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.65
2) x%=1.03
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%=0.65/1.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.03 is what percent of 0.65

100%/x%=0.65/1.03
(100/x)*x=(0.65/1.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.63106796116505*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.63106796116505) to get x
100/0.63106796116505=x
158.46153846154=x
x=158.46153846154

now we have:
1.03 is 158.46153846154% of 0.65
