0.53846153846 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.53846153846 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.53846153846.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=0.53846153846
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%=1/0.53846153846
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.53846153846 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/0.53846153846
(100/x)*x=(1/0.53846153846)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8571428571482*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8571428571482) to get x
100/1.8571428571482=x
53.846153846=x
x=53.846153846

now we have:
0.53846153846 is 53.846153846% of 1
