2.36 is what percent of 42.63 - 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 42.63 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 42.63, so we can write it down as 100%=42.63.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=42.63
2) x%=2.36
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%=42.63/2.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.36 is what percent of 42.63

100%/x%=42.63/2.36
(100/x)*x=(42.63/2.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.063559322034*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.063559322034) to get x
100/18.063559322034=x
5.5360075064509=x
x=5.5360075064509

now we have:
2.36 is 5.5360075064509% of 42.63
