3.07 is what percent of 54.27 - 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 54.27 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 54.27, so we can write it down as 100%=54.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.27
2) x%=3.07
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%=54.27/3.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.07 is what percent of 54.27

100%/x%=54.27/3.07
(100/x)*x=(54.27/3.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.677524429967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.677524429967) to get x
100/17.677524429967=x
5.6569006817763=x
x=5.6569006817763

now we have:
3.07 is 5.6569006817763% of 54.27
