55.25 is what percent of 94 - 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 94 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 94, so we can write it down as 100%=94.
4. We know, that x% equals 55.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94
2) x%=55.25
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%=94/55.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55.25 is what percent of 94

100%/x%=94/55.25
(100/x)*x=(94/55.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7013574660633*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7013574660633) to get x
100/1.7013574660633=x
58.776595744681=x
x=58.776595744681

now we have:
55.25 is 58.776595744681% of 94
