64.26 is what percent of 537 - 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 537 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 537, so we can write it down as 100%=537.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=537
2) x%=64.26
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%=537/64.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.26 is what percent of 537

100%/x%=537/64.26
(100/x)*x=(537/64.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.3566760037348*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3566760037348) to get x
100/8.3566760037348=x
11.966480446927=x
x=11.966480446927

now we have:
64.26 is 11.966480446927% of 537
