5777.95 is what percent of 101 - 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 101 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 101, so we can write it down as 100%=101.
4. We know, that x% equals 5777.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5777.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=101
2) x%=5777.95
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%=101/5777.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5777.95 is what percent of 101

100%/x%=101/5777.95
(100/x)*x=(101/5777.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.01748024818491*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.01748024818491) to get x
100/0.01748024818491=x
5720.7425742574=x
x=5720.7425742574

now we have:
5777.95 is 5720.7425742574% of 101
