63 is what percent of 78.74 - 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 78.74 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 78.74, so we can write it down as 100%=78.74.
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%=78.74
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%=78.74/63
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 78.74

100%/x%=78.74/63
(100/x)*x=(78.74/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2498412698413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2498412698413) to get x
100/1.2498412698413=x
80.01016002032=x
x=80.01016002032

now we have:
63 is 80.01016002032% of 78.74
