2.32 is what percent of 5.56 - 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 5.56 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 5.56, so we can write it down as 100%=5.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.56
2) x%=2.32
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%=5.56/2.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.32 is what percent of 5.56

100%/x%=5.56/2.32
(100/x)*x=(5.56/2.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3965517241379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3965517241379) to get x
100/2.3965517241379=x
41.726618705036=x
x=41.726618705036

now we have:
2.32 is 41.726618705036% of 5.56
