61.02 is what percent of 5.55 - 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 5.55 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 5.55, so we can write it down as 100%=5.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.55
2) x%=61.02
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%=5.55/61.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.02 is what percent of 5.55

100%/x%=5.55/61.02
(100/x)*x=(5.55/61.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.090953785644051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.090953785644051) to get x
100/0.090953785644051=x
1099.4594594595=x
x=1099.4594594595

now we have:
61.02 is 1099.4594594595% of 5.55
