47 is what percent of 7363 - 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 7363 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 7363, so we can write it down as 100%=7363.
4. We know, that x% equals 47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7363
2) x%=47
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%=7363/47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47 is what percent of 7363

100%/x%=7363/47
(100/x)*x=(7363/47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=156.65957446809*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (156.65957446809) to get x
100/156.65957446809=x
0.63832676898004=x
x=0.63832676898004

now we have:
47 is 0.63832676898004% of 7363
