62.48 is what percent of 68.03 - 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 68.03 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 68.03, so we can write it down as 100%=68.03.
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%=68.03
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%=68.03/62.48
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 68.03

100%/x%=68.03/62.48
(100/x)*x=(68.03/62.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.088828425096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.088828425096) to get x
100/1.088828425096=x
91.841834484786=x
x=91.841834484786

now we have:
62.48 is 91.841834484786% of 68.03
