56.94 is what percent of 104 - 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 104 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 104, so we can write it down as 100%=104.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104
2) x%=56.94
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%=104/56.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.94 is what percent of 104

100%/x%=104/56.94
(100/x)*x=(104/56.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8264840182648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8264840182648) to get x
100/1.8264840182648=x
54.75=x
x=54.75

now we have:
56.94 is 54.75% of 104
