62.07 is what percent of 170.32 - 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 170.32 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 170.32, so we can write it down as 100%=170.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=170.32
2) x%=62.07
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%=170.32/62.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.07 is what percent of 170.32

100%/x%=170.32/62.07
(100/x)*x=(170.32/62.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7439987111326*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7439987111326) to get x
100/2.7439987111326=x
36.443165805543=x
x=36.443165805543

now we have:
62.07 is 36.443165805543% of 170.32
