50.53 is what percent of 3134.81 - 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 3134.81 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 3134.81, so we can write it down as 100%=3134.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3134.81
2) x%=50.53
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%=3134.81/50.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.53 is what percent of 3134.81

100%/x%=3134.81/50.53
(100/x)*x=(3134.81/50.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.038590936078*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.038590936078) to get x
100/62.038590936078=x
1.6118999237593=x
x=1.6118999237593

now we have:
