6.3 is what percent of 37.03 - 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 37.03 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 37.03, so we can write it down as 100%=37.03.
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%=37.03
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%=37.03/6.3
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 37.03

100%/x%=37.03/6.3
(100/x)*x=(37.03/6.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8777777777778) to get x
100/5.8777777777778=x
17.013232514178=x
x=17.013232514178

now we have:
6.3 is 17.013232514178% of 37.03
