97.39 is what percent of 62.23 - 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 62.23 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 62.23, so we can write it down as 100%=62.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 97.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=97.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62.23
2) x%=97.39
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%=62.23/97.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 97.39 is what percent of 62.23

100%/x%=62.23/97.39
(100/x)*x=(62.23/97.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.6389773077318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.6389773077318) to get x
100/0.6389773077318=x
156.5000803471=x
x=156.5000803471

now we have:
97.39 is 156.5000803471% of 62.23
