1.48 is what percent of 0.62 - 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 0.62 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 0.62, so we can write it down as 100%=0.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.62
2) x%=1.48
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%=0.62/1.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.48 is what percent of 0.62

100%/x%=0.62/1.48
(100/x)*x=(0.62/1.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.41891891891892*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.41891891891892) to get x
100/0.41891891891892=x
238.70967741935=x
x=238.70967741935

now we have:
1.48 is 238.70967741935% of 0.62
