5.75 is what percent of 54 - 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 54 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 54, so we can write it down as 100%=54.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54
2) x%=5.75
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%=54/5.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.75 is what percent of 54

100%/x%=54/5.75
(100/x)*x=(54/5.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3913043478261*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3913043478261) to get x
100/9.3913043478261=x
10.648148148148=x
x=10.648148148148

now we have:
5.75 is 10.648148148148% of 54
