63 is what percent of 1624 - 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 1624 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 1624, so we can write it down as 100%=1624.
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%=1624
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%=1624/63
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 1624

100%/x%=1624/63
(100/x)*x=(1624/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.777777777778) to get x
100/25.777777777778=x
3.8793103448276=x
x=3.8793103448276

now we have:
63 is 3.8793103448276% of 1624
