63 is what percent of 1316 - 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 1316 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 1316, so we can write it down as 100%=1316.
4. We know, that x% equals 63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1316
2) x%=63
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%=1316/63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 63 is what percent of 1316

100%/x%=1316/63
(100/x)*x=(1316/63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.888888888889) to get x
100/20.888888888889=x
4.7872340425532=x
x=4.7872340425532

now we have:
63 is 4.7872340425532% of 1316
