62.7 is what percent of 937.12 - 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 937.12 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 937.12, so we can write it down as 100%=937.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=937.12
2) x%=62.7
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%=937.12/62.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.7 is what percent of 937.12

100%/x%=937.12/62.7
(100/x)*x=(937.12/62.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.946092503987*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.946092503987) to get x
100/14.946092503987=x
6.6907119685846=x
x=6.6907119685846

now we have:
62.7 is 6.6907119685846% of 937.12
