63.93 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 63.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=63.93
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%=1500/63.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63.93 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/63.93
(100/x)*x=(1500/63.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.46316283435*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.46316283435) to get x
100/23.46316283435=x
4.262=x
x=4.262

now we have:
63.93 is 4.262% of 1500
