53.3 is what percent of 367.06 - 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 367.06 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 367.06, so we can write it down as 100%=367.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 53.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=53.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=367.06
2) x%=53.3
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%=367.06/53.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 53.3 is what percent of 367.06

100%/x%=367.06/53.3
(100/x)*x=(367.06/53.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.8866791744841*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.8866791744841) to get x
100/6.8866791744841=x
14.52078679235=x
x=14.52078679235

now we have:
53.3 is 14.52078679235% of 367.06
