62 is what percent of 4753 - 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 4753 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 4753, so we can write it down as 100%=4753.
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%=4753
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%=4753/62
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 4753

100%/x%=4753/62
(100/x)*x=(4753/62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=76.661290322581*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (76.661290322581) to get x
100/76.661290322581=x
1.3044393014938=x
x=1.3044393014938

now we have:
62 is 1.3044393014938% of 4753
