58.48 is what percent of 54 - 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 54 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 54, so we can write it down as 100%=54.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54
2) x%=58.48
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%=54/58.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.48 is what percent of 54

100%/x%=54/58.48
(100/x)*x=(54/58.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.9233926128591*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9233926128591) to get x
100/0.9233926128591=x
108.2962962963=x
x=108.2962962963

now we have:
58.48 is 108.2962962963% of 54
