6.2 is what percent of 632 - 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 632 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 632, so we can write it down as 100%=632.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=632
2) x%=6.2
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%=632/6.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.2 is what percent of 632

100%/x%=632/6.2
(100/x)*x=(632/6.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=101.93548387097*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.93548387097) to get x
100/101.93548387097=x
0.98101265822785=x
x=0.98101265822785

now we have:
6.2 is 0.98101265822785% of 632
