53.07 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 53.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=53.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63
2) x%=53.07
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%=63/53.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 53.07 is what percent of 63

100%/x%=63/53.07
(100/x)*x=(63/53.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1871113623516*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1871113623516) to get x
100/1.1871113623516=x
84.238095238095=x
x=84.238095238095

now we have:
53.07 is 84.238095238095% of 63
