34.39 is what percent of 555 - 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 555 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 555, so we can write it down as 100%=555.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=555
2) x%=34.39
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%=555/34.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.39 is what percent of 555

100%/x%=555/34.39
(100/x)*x=(555/34.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.138412329165*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.138412329165) to get x
100/16.138412329165=x
6.1963963963964=x
x=6.1963963963964

now we have:
34.39 is 6.1963963963964% of 555
