7.63 is what percent of 20.3 - 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 20.3 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 20.3, so we can write it down as 100%=20.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20.3
2) x%=7.63
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%=20.3/7.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.63 is what percent of 20.3

100%/x%=20.3/7.63
(100/x)*x=(20.3/7.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6605504587156*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6605504587156) to get x
100/2.6605504587156=x
37.586206896552=x
x=37.586206896552

now we have:
7.63 is 37.586206896552% of 20.3
