63.45 is what percent of 866 - 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 866 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 866, so we can write it down as 100%=866.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=866
2) x%=63.45
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%=866/63.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.45 is what percent of 866

100%/x%=866/63.45
(100/x)*x=(866/63.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.64854215918*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.64854215918) to get x
100/13.64854215918=x
7.3267898383372=x
x=7.3267898383372

now we have:
63.45 is 7.3267898383372% of 866
