54 is what percent of 1.554 - 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 1.554 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 1.554, so we can write it down as 100%=1.554.
4. We know, that x% equals 54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.554
2) x%=54
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%=1.554/54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54 is what percent of 1.554

100%/x%=1.554/54
(100/x)*x=(1.554/54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.028777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.028777777777778) to get x
100/0.028777777777778=x
3474.9034749035=x
x=3474.9034749035

now we have:
54 is 3474.9034749035% of 1.554
