50.7 is what percent of 553.26 - 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 553.26 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 553.26, so we can write it down as 100%=553.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=553.26
2) x%=50.7
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%=553.26/50.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.7 is what percent of 553.26

100%/x%=553.26/50.7
(100/x)*x=(553.26/50.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.912426035503*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.912426035503) to get x
100/10.912426035503=x
9.1638650905542=x
x=9.1638650905542

now we have:
50.7 is 9.1638650905542% of 553.26
