5.56 is what percent of 27.67 - 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 27.67 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 27.67, so we can write it down as 100%=27.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27.67
2) x%=5.56
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%=27.67/5.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.56 is what percent of 27.67

100%/x%=27.67/5.56
(100/x)*x=(27.67/5.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.976618705036*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.976618705036) to get x
100/4.976618705036=x
20.09396458258=x
x=20.09396458258

now we have:
5.56 is 20.09396458258% of 27.67
