43.75 is what percent of 54.69 - 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 54.69 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 54.69, so we can write it down as 100%=54.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.69
2) x%=43.75
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%=54.69/43.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.75 is what percent of 54.69

100%/x%=54.69/43.75
(100/x)*x=(54.69/43.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2500571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2500571428571) to get x
100/1.2500571428571=x
79.996343024319=x
x=79.996343024319

now we have:
43.75 is 79.996343024319% of 54.69
