34.34 is what percent of 54.86 - 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 54.86 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 54.86, so we can write it down as 100%=54.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.86
2) x%=34.34
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%=54.86/34.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.34 is what percent of 54.86

100%/x%=54.86/34.34
(100/x)*x=(54.86/34.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5975538730344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5975538730344) to get x
100/1.5975538730344=x
62.595698140722=x
x=62.595698140722

now we have:
34.34 is 62.595698140722% of 54.86
