56.61 is what percent of 336.56 - 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 336.56 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 336.56, so we can write it down as 100%=336.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=336.56
2) x%=56.61
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%=336.56/56.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.61 is what percent of 336.56

100%/x%=336.56/56.61
(100/x)*x=(336.56/56.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9452393570041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9452393570041) to get x
100/5.9452393570041=x
16.820180651295=x
x=16.820180651295

now we have:
56.61 is 16.820180651295% of 336.56
