62.8 is what percent of 6500 - 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 6500 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 6500, so we can write it down as 100%=6500.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6500
2) x%=62.8
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%=6500/62.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.8 is what percent of 6500

100%/x%=6500/62.8
(100/x)*x=(6500/62.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=103.50318471338*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (103.50318471338) to get x
100/103.50318471338=x
0.96615384615385=x
x=0.96615384615385

now we have:
62.8 is 0.96615384615385% of 6500
