54 is what percent of 1369 - 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 1369 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 1369, so we can write it down as 100%=1369.
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%=1369
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%=1369/54
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 1369

100%/x%=1369/54
(100/x)*x=(1369/54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.351851851852*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.351851851852) to get x
100/25.351851851852=x
3.9444850255661=x
x=3.9444850255661

now we have:
54 is 3.9444850255661% of 1369
