63137.55 is what percent of 83.2 - 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 83.2 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 83.2, so we can write it down as 100%=83.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 63137.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63137.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=83.2
2) x%=63137.55
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%=83.2/63137.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63137.55 is what percent of 83.2

100%/x%=83.2/63137.55
(100/x)*x=(83.2/63137.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0013177578160698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0013177578160698) to get x
100/0.0013177578160698=x
75886.478365385=x
x=75886.478365385

now we have:
63137.55 is 75886.478365385% of 83.2
