63 is what percent of 923 - 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 923 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 923, so we can write it down as 100%=923.
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%=923
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%=923/63
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 923

100%/x%=923/63
(100/x)*x=(923/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.650793650794*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.650793650794) to get x
100/14.650793650794=x
6.8255687973998=x
x=6.8255687973998

now we have:
63 is 6.8255687973998% of 923
