63 is what percent of 1130 - 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 1130 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 1130, so we can write it down as 100%=1130.
4. We know, that x% equals 63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1130
2) x%=63
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%=1130/63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63 is what percent of 1130

100%/x%=1130/63
(100/x)*x=(1130/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.936507936508*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.936507936508) to get x
100/17.936507936508=x
5.5752212389381=x
x=5.5752212389381

now we have:
63 is 5.5752212389381% of 1130
