63.6 is what percent of 565.2 - 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 565.2 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 565.2, so we can write it down as 100%=565.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=565.2
2) x%=63.6
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%=565.2/63.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.6 is what percent of 565.2

100%/x%=565.2/63.6
(100/x)*x=(565.2/63.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.8867924528302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8867924528302) to get x
100/8.8867924528302=x
11.252653927813=x
x=11.252653927813

now we have:
63.6 is 11.252653927813% of 565.2
