0.55 is what percent of 49000000 - 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 49000000 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 49000000, so we can write it down as 100%=49000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49000000
2) x%=0.55
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%=49000000/0.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.55 is what percent of 49000000

100%/x%=49000000/0.55
(100/x)*x=(49000000/0.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=89090909.090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (89090909.090909) to get x
100/89090909.090909=x
1.1224489795918E-6=x
x=1.1224489795918E-6

now we have:
0.55 is 1.1224489795918E-6% of 49000000
