62 is what percent of 1318 - 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 1318 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 1318, so we can write it down as 100%=1318.
4. We know, that x% equals 62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1318
2) x%=62
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%=1318/62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62 is what percent of 1318

100%/x%=1318/62
(100/x)*x=(1318/62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.258064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.258064516129) to get x
100/21.258064516129=x
4.7040971168437=x
x=4.7040971168437

now we have:
62 is 4.7040971168437% of 1318
