49.98 is what percent of 63.2 - 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 63.2 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 63.2, so we can write it down as 100%=63.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 49.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63.2
2) x%=49.98
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%=63.2/49.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49.98 is what percent of 63.2

100%/x%=63.2/49.98
(100/x)*x=(63.2/49.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2645058023209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2645058023209) to get x
100/1.2645058023209=x
79.082278481013=x
x=79.082278481013

now we have:
49.98 is 79.082278481013% of 63.2
