632.5 is what percent of 87.84 - 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 87.84 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 87.84, so we can write it down as 100%=87.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 632.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=632.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=87.84
2) x%=632.5
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%=87.84/632.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 632.5 is what percent of 87.84

100%/x%=87.84/632.5
(100/x)*x=(87.84/632.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.13887747035573*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13887747035573) to get x
100/0.13887747035573=x
720.05919854281=x
x=720.05919854281

now we have:
632.5 is 720.05919854281% of 87.84
