62.13 is what percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700, so we can write it down as 100%=700.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=700
2) x%=62.13
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%=700/62.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.13 is what percent of 700

100%/x%=700/62.13
(100/x)*x=(700/62.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.266698857235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.266698857235) to get x
100/11.266698857235=x
8.8757142857143=x
x=8.8757142857143

now we have:
62.13 is 8.8757142857143% of 700
