47.4 is what percent of 61.558 - 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 61.558 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 61.558, so we can write it down as 100%=61.558.
4. We know, that x% equals 47.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=61.558
2) x%=47.4
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%=61.558/47.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.4 is what percent of 61.558

100%/x%=61.558/47.4
(100/x)*x=(61.558/47.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2986919831224*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2986919831224) to get x
100/1.2986919831224=x
77.000552324637=x
x=77.000552324637

now we have:
47.4 is 77.000552324637% of 61.558
