1.63 is what percent of 12 - 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 12 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 12, so we can write it down as 100%=12.
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%=12
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%=12/1.63
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 12

100%/x%=12/1.63
(100/x)*x=(12/1.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.361963190184*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.361963190184) to get x
100/7.361963190184=x
13.583333333333=x
x=13.583333333333

now we have:
1.63 is 13.583333333333% of 12
