1.07 is what percent of 57 - 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 57 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 57, so we can write it down as 100%=57.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=57
2) x%=1.07
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%=57/1.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.07 is what percent of 57

100%/x%=57/1.07
(100/x)*x=(57/1.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=53.271028037383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (53.271028037383) to get x
100/53.271028037383=x
1.8771929824561=x
x=1.8771929824561

now we have:
1.07 is 1.8771929824561% of 57
