5.54 is what percent of 3.67 - 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 3.67 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 3.67, so we can write it down as 100%=3.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.67
2) x%=5.54
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%=3.67/5.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.54 is what percent of 3.67

100%/x%=3.67/5.54
(100/x)*x=(3.67/5.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.66245487364621*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.66245487364621) to get x
100/0.66245487364621=x
150.95367847411=x
x=150.95367847411

now we have:
5.54 is 150.95367847411% of 3.67
