56.64 is what percent of 94.15 - 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 94.15 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 94.15, so we can write it down as 100%=94.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=94.15
2) x%=56.64
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%=94.15/56.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.64 is what percent of 94.15

100%/x%=94.15/56.64
(100/x)*x=(94.15/56.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6622528248588*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6622528248588) to get x
100/1.6622528248588=x
60.15932023367=x
x=60.15932023367

now we have:
56.64 is 60.15932023367% of 94.15
