20.53 is what percent of 6373.17 - 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 6373.17 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 6373.17, so we can write it down as 100%=6373.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6373.17
2) x%=20.53
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%=6373.17/20.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.53 is what percent of 6373.17

100%/x%=6373.17/20.53
(100/x)*x=(6373.17/20.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=310.43205065757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (310.43205065757) to get x
100/310.43205065757=x
0.3221316864292=x
x=0.3221316864292

now we have:
