What is 62.3 percent of 98 - 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 98 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 98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 62.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 98=100%
2) x=62.3%
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:
98/x=100%/62.3%
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 62.3% of 98

98/x=100/62.3
(98/x)*x=(100/62.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
98=1.6051364365971*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6051364365971) to get x
98/1.6051364365971=x
61.054=x
x=61.054

now we have:
62.3% of 98=61.054
