5.92 is what percent of 63.99 - 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 63.99 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 63.99, so we can write it down as 100%=63.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63.99
2) x%=5.92
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%=63.99/5.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.92 is what percent of 63.99

100%/x%=63.99/5.92
(100/x)*x=(63.99/5.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.809121621622*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.809121621622) to get x
100/10.809121621622=x
9.2514455383654=x
x=9.2514455383654

now we have:
5.92 is 9.2514455383654% of 63.99
