57.33 is what percent of 122 - 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 122 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 122, so we can write it down as 100%=122.
4. We know, that x% equals 57.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=122
2) x%=57.33
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%=122/57.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57.33 is what percent of 122

100%/x%=122/57.33
(100/x)*x=(122/57.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1280306994593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1280306994593) to get x
100/2.1280306994593=x
46.991803278689=x
x=46.991803278689

now we have:
57.33 is 46.991803278689% of 122
