65 is what percent of 49937 - 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 49937 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 49937, so we can write it down as 100%=49937.
4. We know, that x% equals 65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49937
2) x%=65
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%=49937/65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65 is what percent of 49937

100%/x%=49937/65
(100/x)*x=(49937/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=768.26153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (768.26153846154) to get x
100/768.26153846154=x
0.13016400664838=x
x=0.13016400664838

now we have:
