55.27 is what percent of 341.88 - 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 341.88 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 341.88, so we can write it down as 100%=341.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 55.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=341.88
2) x%=55.27
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%=341.88/55.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55.27 is what percent of 341.88

100%/x%=341.88/55.27
(100/x)*x=(341.88/55.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1856341595802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1856341595802) to get x
100/6.1856341595802=x
16.166491166491=x
x=16.166491166491

now we have:
