1.63 is what percent of 10.38 - 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 10.38 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 10.38, so we can write it down as 100%=10.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.38
2) x%=1.63
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%=10.38/1.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.63 is what percent of 10.38

100%/x%=10.38/1.63
(100/x)*x=(10.38/1.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3680981595092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3680981595092) to get x
100/6.3680981595092=x
15.703275529865=x
x=15.703275529865

now we have:
1.63 is 15.703275529865% of 10.38
