109.48 is what percent of 623 - 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 623 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 623, so we can write it down as 100%=623.
4. We know, that x% equals 109.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=109.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=623
2) x%=109.48
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%=623/109.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 109.48 is what percent of 623

100%/x%=623/109.48
(100/x)*x=(623/109.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.690537084399*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.690537084399) to get x
100/5.690537084399=x
17.573033707865=x
x=17.573033707865

now we have:
109.48 is 17.573033707865% of 623
