16.2 is what percent of 63.37 - 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 63.37 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 63.37, so we can write it down as 100%=63.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63.37
2) x%=16.2
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%=63.37/16.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.2 is what percent of 63.37

100%/x%=63.37/16.2
(100/x)*x=(63.37/16.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9117283950617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9117283950617) to get x
100/3.9117283950617=x
25.564147072747=x
x=25.564147072747

now we have:
16.2 is 25.564147072747% of 63.37
