63.75 is what percent of 83.25 - 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 83.25 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 83.25, so we can write it down as 100%=83.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=83.25
2) x%=63.75
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%=83.25/63.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.75 is what percent of 83.25

100%/x%=83.25/63.75
(100/x)*x=(83.25/63.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3058823529412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3058823529412) to get x
100/1.3058823529412=x
76.576576576577=x
x=76.576576576577

now we have:
63.75 is 76.576576576577% of 83.25
