55130.9 is what percent of 50500 - 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 50500 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 50500, so we can write it down as 100%=50500.
4. We know, that x% equals 55130.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55130.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50500
2) x%=55130.9
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%=50500/55130.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55130.9 is what percent of 50500

100%/x%=50500/55130.9
(100/x)*x=(50500/55130.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91600173405477*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91600173405477) to get x
100/0.91600173405477=x
109.1700990099=x
x=109.1700990099

now we have:
55130.9 is 109.1700990099% of 50500
