3.14 is what percent of 5.45 - 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 5.45 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 5.45, so we can write it down as 100%=5.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.45
2) x%=3.14
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%=5.45/3.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.14 is what percent of 5.45

100%/x%=5.45/3.14
(100/x)*x=(5.45/3.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7356687898089*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7356687898089) to get x
100/1.7356687898089=x
57.614678899083=x
x=57.614678899083

now we have:
3.14 is 57.614678899083% of 5.45
