0.54 is what percent of 2.091 - 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 2.091 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 2.091, so we can write it down as 100%=2.091.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.091
2) x%=0.54
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%=2.091/0.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.54 is what percent of 2.091

100%/x%=2.091/0.54
(100/x)*x=(2.091/0.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8722222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8722222222222) to get x
100/3.8722222222222=x
25.824964131994=x
x=25.824964131994

now we have:
0.54 is 25.824964131994% of 2.091
