0.57 is what percent of 3.77 - 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 3.77 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 3.77, so we can write it down as 100%=3.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.77
2) x%=0.57
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%=3.77/0.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.57 is what percent of 3.77

100%/x%=3.77/0.57
(100/x)*x=(3.77/0.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6140350877193*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6140350877193) to get x
100/6.6140350877193=x
15.119363395225=x
x=15.119363395225

now we have:
0.57 is 15.119363395225% of 3.77
