3.19 is what percent of 5.69 - 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 5.69 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 5.69, so we can write it down as 100%=5.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.69
2) x%=3.19
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%=5.69/3.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.19 is what percent of 5.69

100%/x%=5.69/3.19
(100/x)*x=(5.69/3.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7836990595611*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7836990595611) to get x
100/1.7836990595611=x
56.063268892794=x
x=56.063268892794

now we have:
3.19 is 56.063268892794% of 5.69
