63.68 is what percent of 865.42 - 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 865.42 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 865.42, so we can write it down as 100%=865.42.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=865.42
2) x%=63.68
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%=865.42/63.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.68 is what percent of 865.42

100%/x%=865.42/63.68
(100/x)*x=(865.42/63.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.590138190955*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.590138190955) to get x
100/13.590138190955=x
7.358276906011=x
x=7.358276906011

now we have:
