549.33 is what percent of 948 - 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 948 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 948, so we can write it down as 100%=948.
4. We know, that x% equals 549.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=549.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=948
2) x%=549.33
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%=948/549.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 549.33 is what percent of 948

100%/x%=948/549.33
(100/x)*x=(948/549.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7257386270548*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7257386270548) to get x
100/1.7257386270548=x
57.946202531646=x
x=57.946202531646

now we have:
549.33 is 57.946202531646% of 948
