544.5 is what percent of 945.5 - 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 945.5 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 945.5, so we can write it down as 100%=945.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 544.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=544.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=945.5
2) x%=544.5
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%=945.5/544.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 544.5 is what percent of 945.5

100%/x%=945.5/544.5
(100/x)*x=(945.5/544.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7364554637282*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7364554637282) to get x
100/1.7364554637282=x
57.588577472237=x
x=57.588577472237

now we have:
544.5 is 57.588577472237% of 945.5
