61.09 is what percent of 3611.25 - 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 3611.25 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 3611.25, so we can write it down as 100%=3611.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3611.25
2) x%=61.09
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%=3611.25/61.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.09 is what percent of 3611.25

100%/x%=3611.25/61.09
(100/x)*x=(3611.25/61.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=59.113602880995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (59.113602880995) to get x
100/59.113602880995=x
1.6916580131533=x
x=1.6916580131533

now we have:
