55.23 is what percent of 199.95 - 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 199.95 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 199.95, so we can write it down as 100%=199.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 55.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=199.95
2) x%=55.23
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%=199.95/55.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55.23 is what percent of 199.95

100%/x%=199.95/55.23
(100/x)*x=(199.95/55.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6203150461706*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6203150461706) to get x
100/3.6203150461706=x
27.621905476369=x
x=27.621905476369

now we have:
55.23 is 27.621905476369% of 199.95
