62.13 is what percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.
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%=75
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%=75/62.13
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 75

100%/x%=75/62.13
(100/x)*x=(75/62.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2071463061323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2071463061323) to get x
100/1.2071463061323=x
82.84=x
x=82.84

now we have:
62.13 is 82.84% of 75
