63 is what percent of 38756 - 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 38756 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 38756, so we can write it down as 100%=38756.
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%=38756
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%=38756/63
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 38756

100%/x%=38756/63
(100/x)*x=(38756/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=615.1746031746*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (615.1746031746) to get x
100/615.1746031746=x
0.16255547528125=x
x=0.16255547528125

now we have:
63 is 0.16255547528125% of 38756
