38.62 is what percent of 613.81 - 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 613.81 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 613.81, so we can write it down as 100%=613.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 38.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=613.81
2) x%=38.62
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%=613.81/38.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38.62 is what percent of 613.81

100%/x%=613.81/38.62
(100/x)*x=(613.81/38.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.893578456758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.893578456758) to get x
100/15.893578456758=x
6.2918492693179=x
x=6.2918492693179

now we have:
