5.41 is what percent of 27.04 - 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 27.04 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 27.04, so we can write it down as 100%=27.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27.04
2) x%=5.41
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%=27.04/5.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.41 is what percent of 27.04

100%/x%=27.04/5.41
(100/x)*x=(27.04/5.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9981515711645*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9981515711645) to get x
100/4.9981515711645=x
20.007396449704=x
x=20.007396449704

now we have:
5.41 is 20.007396449704% of 27.04
