0.54 is what percent of 26.54 - 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 26.54 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 26.54, so we can write it down as 100%=26.54.
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%=26.54
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%=26.54/0.54
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 26.54

100%/x%=26.54/0.54
(100/x)*x=(26.54/0.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.148148148148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.148148148148) to get x
100/49.148148148148=x
2.0346646571213=x
x=2.0346646571213

now we have:
0.54 is 2.0346646571213% of 26.54
