2.34 is what percent of 54.61 - 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 54.61 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 54.61, so we can write it down as 100%=54.61.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.61
2) x%=2.34
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%=54.61/2.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.34 is what percent of 54.61

100%/x%=54.61/2.34
(100/x)*x=(54.61/2.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.337606837607*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.337606837607) to get x
100/23.337606837607=x
4.2849295000916=x
x=4.2849295000916

now we have:
2.34 is 4.2849295000916% of 54.61
