5.65 is what percent of 110 - 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 110 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 110, so we can write it down as 100%=110.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=110
2) x%=5.65
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%=110/5.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.65 is what percent of 110

100%/x%=110/5.65
(100/x)*x=(110/5.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.469026548673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.469026548673) to get x
100/19.469026548673=x
5.1363636363636=x
x=5.1363636363636

now we have:
5.65 is 5.1363636363636% of 110
