You are requesting a number, as the question clearly states. So, a number should be the response. However, because 63 and 190 are not stated and might indicate a variety of things, we must make an assumption in order to provide a response.

We will thus assume that 63 is a percentage and that 190 is a number in order to respond to the question, "What number is 63 of 190?"

We multiply 63 by 190 and then divide the result by 100 to obtain the solution. Here is the calculation and response to your query:

⇒ 63 x 190 = 11970

⇒ 11970 / 100 = 119.7

Assuming you meant 63 percent of 190, the answer to the question "What number is 63 of 190?" is 119.7, as shown and computed above.

Thank you,

Eddie

Answer:

Explanation:

190/x=100/63

(190/x)*x=(100/63)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

190=1.5873015873016*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5873015873016) to get x

190/1.5873015873016=x

119.7=x

x=119.7

now we have:

63% of 190=119.7
