56.84 is what percent of 1064 - 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 1064 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 1064, so we can write it down as 100%=1064.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1064
2) x%=56.84
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%=1064/56.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.84 is what percent of 1064

100%/x%=1064/56.84
(100/x)*x=(1064/56.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.71921182266*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.71921182266) to get x
100/18.71921182266=x
5.3421052631579=x
x=5.3421052631579

now we have:
56.84 is 5.3421052631579% of 1064
