62.17 is what percent of 155.03 - 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 155.03 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 155.03, so we can write it down as 100%=155.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=155.03
2) x%=62.17
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%=155.03/62.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.17 is what percent of 155.03

100%/x%=155.03/62.17
(100/x)*x=(155.03/62.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4936464532733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4936464532733) to get x
100/2.4936464532733=x
40.10191575824=x
x=40.10191575824

now we have:
62.17 is 40.10191575824% of 155.03
