What is 41.87 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 41.87% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.87%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 63=100%
2) x=41.87%
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%/41.87%
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 41.87% of 63

63/x=100/41.87
(63/x)*x=(100/41.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
63=2.3883448770002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3883448770002) to get x
63/2.3883448770002=x
26.3781=x
x=26.3781

now we have:
41.87% of 63=26.3781
