54 is what percent of 913 - 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 913 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 913, so we can write it down as 100%=913.
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%=913
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%=913/54
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 913

100%/x%=913/54
(100/x)*x=(913/54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.907407407407*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.907407407407) to get x
100/16.907407407407=x
5.9145673603505=x
x=5.9145673603505

now we have:
54 is 5.9145673603505% of 913
