1.63 is what percent of 29.5 - 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 29.5 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 29.5, so we can write it down as 100%=29.5.
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%=29.5
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%=29.5/1.63
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 29.5

100%/x%=29.5/1.63
(100/x)*x=(29.5/1.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.098159509202*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.098159509202) to get x
100/18.098159509202=x
5.5254237288136=x
x=5.5254237288136

now we have:
1.63 is 5.5254237288136% of 29.5
