56 is what percent of 3.64 - 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 3.64 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 3.64, so we can write it down as 100%=3.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.64
2) x%=56
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%=3.64/56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56 is what percent of 3.64

100%/x%=3.64/56
(100/x)*x=(3.64/56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.065) to get x
100/0.065=x
1538.4615384615=x
x=1538.4615384615

now we have:
56 is 1538.4615384615% of 3.64
