62 is what percent of 20984 - 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 20984 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 20984, so we can write it down as 100%=20984.
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%=20984
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%=20984/62
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 20984

100%/x%=20984/62
(100/x)*x=(20984/62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=338.45161290323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (338.45161290323) to get x
100/338.45161290323=x
0.29546321006481=x
x=0.29546321006481

now we have:
62 is 0.29546321006481% of 20984
