Answer:
0.62
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 62 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 62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62=100%
2) x=1%
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:
62/x=100%/1%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 1% of 62
62/x=100/1
(62/x)*x=(100/1)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62=100*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x
62/100=x
0.62=x
x=0.62
now we have:
1% of 62=0.62
