6.5 is what percent of 63.3 - 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 63.3 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 63.3, so we can write it down as 100%=63.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=63.3
2) x%=6.5
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%=63.3/6.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.5 is what percent of 63.3

100%/x%=63.3/6.5
(100/x)*x=(63.3/6.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.7384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7384615384615) to get x
100/9.7384615384615=x
10.268562401264=x
x=10.268562401264

now we have:
6.5 is 10.268562401264% of 63.3
