20.63 is what percent of 206.37 - 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 206.37 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 206.37, so we can write it down as 100%=206.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=206.37
2) x%=20.63
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%=206.37/20.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.63 is what percent of 206.37

100%/x%=206.37/20.63
(100/x)*x=(206.37/20.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.00339311682*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.00339311682) to get x
100/10.00339311682=x
9.9966080341135=x
x=9.9966080341135

now we have:
20.63 is 9.9966080341135% of 206.37
