62 is what percent of 173476 - 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 173476 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 173476, so we can write it down as 100%=173476.
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%=173476
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%=173476/62
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 173476

100%/x%=173476/62
(100/x)*x=(173476/62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2798*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2798) to get x
100/2798=x
0.035739814152966=x
x=0.035739814152966

now we have:
