548.48 is what percent of 1383.07 - 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 1383.07 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 1383.07, so we can write it down as 100%=1383.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 548.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=548.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1383.07
2) x%=548.48
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%=1383.07/548.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 548.48 is what percent of 1383.07

100%/x%=1383.07/548.48
(100/x)*x=(1383.07/548.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5216416277713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5216416277713) to get x
100/2.5216416277713=x
39.656705734345=x
x=39.656705734345

now we have:
548.48 is 39.656705734345% of 1383.07
