54.45 is what percent of 775 - 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 775 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 775, so we can write it down as 100%=775.
4. We know, that x% equals 54.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=775
2) x%=54.45
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%=775/54.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54.45 is what percent of 775

100%/x%=775/54.45
(100/x)*x=(775/54.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.233241505969*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.233241505969) to get x
100/14.233241505969=x
7.0258064516129=x
x=7.0258064516129

now we have:
54.45 is 7.0258064516129% of 775
