55 is what percent of 113693 - 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 113693 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 113693, so we can write it down as 100%=113693.
4. We know, that x% equals 55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=113693
2) x%=55
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%=113693/55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55 is what percent of 113693

100%/x%=113693/55
(100/x)*x=(113693/55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2067.1454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2067.1454545455) to get x
100/2067.1454545455=x
0.048375889456695=x
x=0.048375889456695

now we have:
