Question

What is 1% of 62 like i dont understand this

Answer 1

1% of 62 would be 0.62

Answer 2

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
