64 is what percent of 1768 - 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 1768 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 1768, so we can write it down as 100%=1768.
4. We know, that x% equals 64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1768
2) x%=64
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%=1768/64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64 is what percent of 1768

100%/x%=1768/64
(100/x)*x=(1768/64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.625) to get x
100/27.625=x
3.6199095022624=x
x=3.6199095022624

now we have:
64 is 3.6199095022624% of 1768
