54.99 is what percent of 41.24 - 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 41.24 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 41.24, so we can write it down as 100%=41.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 54.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.24
2) x%=54.99
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%=41.24/54.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54.99 is what percent of 41.24

100%/x%=41.24/54.99
(100/x)*x=(41.24/54.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.74995453718858*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74995453718858) to get x
100/0.74995453718858=x
133.34141610087=x
x=133.34141610087

now we have:
54.99 is 133.34141610087% of 41.24
