54 is what percent of 132600 - 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 132600 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 132600, so we can write it down as 100%=132600.
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%=132600
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%=132600/54
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 132600

100%/x%=132600/54
(100/x)*x=(132600/54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2455.5555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2455.5555555556) to get x
100/2455.5555555556=x
0.040723981900452=x
x=0.040723981900452

now we have:
54 is 0.040723981900452% of 132600
