41.67 is what percent of 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 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 63, so we can write it down as 100%=63.
4. We know, that x% equals 41.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=41.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63
2) x%=41.67
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%=63/41.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 41.67 is what percent of 63

100%/x%=63/41.67
(100/x)*x=(63/41.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.511879049676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.511879049676) to get x
100/1.511879049676=x
66.142857142857=x
x=66.142857142857

now we have:
41.67 is 66.142857142857% of 63
