63.83 is what percent of 1252 - 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 1252 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 1252, so we can write it down as 100%=1252.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1252
2) x%=63.83
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%=1252/63.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.83 is what percent of 1252

100%/x%=1252/63.83
(100/x)*x=(1252/63.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.614601284662*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.614601284662) to get x
100/19.614601284662=x
5.0982428115016=x
x=5.0982428115016

now we have:
63.83 is 5.0982428115016% of 1252
