What is 4.28571428571 percent of 63 - 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 63 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 63 is 100%, so we can write it down as 63=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.28571428571% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.28571428571%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 63=100%
2) x=4.28571428571%
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:
63/x=100%/4.28571428571%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 4.28571428571% of 63

63/x=100/4.28571428571
(63/x)*x=(100/4.28571428571)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
63=23.333333333357*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.333333333357) to get x
63/23.333333333357=x
2.6999999999973=x
x=2.6999999999973

now we have:
4.28571428571% of 63=2.6999999999973
