6306.5 is what percent of 12613 - 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 12613 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 12613, so we can write it down as 100%=12613.
4. We know, that x% equals 6306.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6306.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12613
2) x%=6306.5
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%=12613/6306.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6306.5 is what percent of 12613

100%/x%=12613/6306.5
(100/x)*x=(12613/6306.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x
100/2=x
50=x
x=50

now we have:
6306.5 is 50% of 12613
