3.04 is what percent of 54.48 - 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 54.48 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 54.48, so we can write it down as 100%=54.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.48
2) x%=3.04
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%=54.48/3.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.04 is what percent of 54.48

100%/x%=54.48/3.04
(100/x)*x=(54.48/3.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.921052631579*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.921052631579) to get x
100/17.921052631579=x
5.5800293685756=x
x=5.5800293685756

now we have:
3.04 is 5.5800293685756% of 54.48
