0.62 is what percent of 88.95 - 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 88.95 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 88.95, so we can write it down as 100%=88.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=88.95
2) x%=0.62
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%=88.95/0.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.62 is what percent of 88.95

100%/x%=88.95/0.62
(100/x)*x=(88.95/0.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=143.46774193548*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (143.46774193548) to get x
100/143.46774193548=x
0.69702079820124=x
x=0.69702079820124

now we have:
0.62 is 0.69702079820124% of 88.95
