54.72 is what percent of 607.39 - 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 607.39 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 607.39, so we can write it down as 100%=607.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 54.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=607.39
2) x%=54.72
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%=607.39/54.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54.72 is what percent of 607.39

100%/x%=607.39/54.72
(100/x)*x=(607.39/54.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.099963450292*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.099963450292) to get x
100/11.099963450292=x
9.0090386736693=x
x=9.0090386736693

now we have:
54.72 is 9.0090386736693% of 607.39
