62.1 is what percent of 174.4 - 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 174.4 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 174.4, so we can write it down as 100%=174.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=174.4
2) x%=62.1
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%=174.4/62.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.1 is what percent of 174.4

100%/x%=174.4/62.1
(100/x)*x=(174.4/62.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8083735909823*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8083735909823) to get x
100/2.8083735909823=x
35.607798165138=x
x=35.607798165138

now we have:
62.1 is 35.607798165138% of 174.4
