63.04 is what percent of 104.08 - 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 104.08 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 104.08, so we can write it down as 100%=104.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104.08
2) x%=63.04
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%=104.08/63.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.04 is what percent of 104.08

100%/x%=104.08/63.04
(100/x)*x=(104.08/63.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6510152284264*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6510152284264) to get x
100/1.6510152284264=x
60.568793235972=x
x=60.568793235972

now we have:
63.04 is 60.568793235972% of 104.08
