53.6 is what percent of 1695 - 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 1695 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 1695, so we can write it down as 100%=1695.
4. We know, that x% equals 53.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=53.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1695
2) x%=53.6
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%=1695/53.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 53.6 is what percent of 1695

100%/x%=1695/53.6
(100/x)*x=(1695/53.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.623134328358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.623134328358) to get x
100/31.623134328358=x
3.1622418879056=x
x=3.1622418879056

now we have:
53.6 is 3.1622418879056% of 1695
