63 is what percent of 54000 - 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 54000 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 54000, so we can write it down as 100%=54000.
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%=54000
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%=54000/63
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 54000

100%/x%=54000/63
(100/x)*x=(54000/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=857.14285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (857.14285714286) to get x
100/857.14285714286=x
0.11666666666667=x
x=0.11666666666667

now we have:
63 is 0.11666666666667% of 54000
