6.3 is what percent of 13 - 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 13 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 13, so we can write it down as 100%=13.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13
2) x%=6.3
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%=13/6.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.3 is what percent of 13

100%/x%=13/6.3
(100/x)*x=(13/6.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0634920634921*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0634920634921) to get x
100/2.0634920634921=x
48.461538461538=x
x=48.461538461538

now we have:
6.3 is 48.461538461538% of 13
