12.63 is what percent of 154.63 - 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 154.63 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 154.63, so we can write it down as 100%=154.63.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=154.63
2) x%=12.63
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%=154.63/12.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.63 is what percent of 154.63

100%/x%=154.63/12.63
(100/x)*x=(154.63/12.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.243072050673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.243072050673) to get x
100/12.243072050673=x
8.1678846278213=x
x=8.1678846278213

now we have:
12.63 is 8.1678846278213% of 154.63
