62.36 is what percent of 119.92 - 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 119.92 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 119.92, so we can write it down as 100%=119.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=119.92
2) x%=62.36
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%=119.92/62.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.36 is what percent of 119.92

100%/x%=119.92/62.36
(100/x)*x=(119.92/62.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9230275817832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9230275817832) to get x
100/1.9230275817832=x
52.001334222815=x
x=52.001334222815

now we have:
62.36 is 52.001334222815% of 119.92
