5.77 is what percent of 56.05 - 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 56.05 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 56.05, so we can write it down as 100%=56.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=56.05
2) x%=5.77
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%=56.05/5.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.77 is what percent of 56.05

100%/x%=56.05/5.77
(100/x)*x=(56.05/5.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.7140381282496*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7140381282496) to get x
100/9.7140381282496=x
10.294380017841=x
x=10.294380017841

now we have:
5.77 is 10.294380017841% of 56.05
