0.54 is what percent of 991.45 - 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 991.45 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 991.45, so we can write it down as 100%=991.45.
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%=991.45
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%=991.45/0.54
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 991.45

100%/x%=991.45/0.54
(100/x)*x=(991.45/0.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1836.0185185185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1836.0185185185) to get x
100/1836.0185185185=x
0.054465681577488=x
x=0.054465681577488

now we have:
0.54 is 0.054465681577488% of 991.45
