623.7 is what percent of 948 - 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 948 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 948, so we can write it down as 100%=948.
4. We know, that x% equals 623.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=623.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=948
2) x%=623.7
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%=948/623.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 623.7 is what percent of 948

100%/x%=948/623.7
(100/x)*x=(948/623.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5199615199615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5199615199615) to get x
100/1.5199615199615=x
65.791139240506=x
x=65.791139240506

now we have:
623.7 is 65.791139240506% of 948
