62.48 is what percent of 325.58 - 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 325.58 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 325.58, so we can write it down as 100%=325.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325.58
2) x%=62.48
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%=325.58/62.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.48 is what percent of 325.58

100%/x%=325.58/62.48
(100/x)*x=(325.58/62.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.210947503201*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.210947503201) to get x
100/5.210947503201=x
19.19036795872=x
x=19.19036795872

now we have:
