55.5 is what percent of 922.28 - 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 922.28 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 922.28, so we can write it down as 100%=922.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 55.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=922.28
2) x%=55.5
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%=922.28/55.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55.5 is what percent of 922.28

100%/x%=922.28/55.5
(100/x)*x=(922.28/55.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.617657657658*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.617657657658) to get x
100/16.617657657658=x
6.0176952769224=x
x=6.0176952769224

now we have:
55.5 is 6.0176952769224% of 922.28
