1.55 is what percent of 681 - 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 681 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 681, so we can write it down as 100%=681.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=681
2) x%=1.55
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%=681/1.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.55 is what percent of 681

100%/x%=681/1.55
(100/x)*x=(681/1.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=439.35483871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (439.35483871) to get x
100/439.35483871=x
0.227606461087=x
x=0.227606461087

now we have:
1.55 is 0.227606461087% of 681
