6.82 is what percent of 5.48 - 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 5.48 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 5.48, so we can write it down as 100%=5.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.48
2) x%=6.82
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%=5.48/6.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.82 is what percent of 5.48

100%/x%=5.48/6.82
(100/x)*x=(5.48/6.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.80351906158358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80351906158358) to get x
100/0.80351906158358=x
124.45255474453=x
x=124.45255474453

now we have:
6.82 is 124.45255474453% of 5.48
