36.63 is what percent of 276.39 - 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 276.39 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 276.39, so we can write it down as 100%=276.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 36.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=276.39
2) x%=36.63
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%=276.39/36.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36.63 is what percent of 276.39

100%/x%=276.39/36.63
(100/x)*x=(276.39/36.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5454545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5454545454545) to get x
100/7.5454545454545=x
13.253012048193=x
x=13.253012048193

now we have:
36.63 is 13.253012048193% of 276.39
