61.1 is what percent of 104 - 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 104 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 104, so we can write it down as 100%=104.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104
2) x%=61.1
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%=104/61.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.1 is what percent of 104

100%/x%=104/61.1
(100/x)*x=(104/61.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7021276595745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7021276595745) to get x
100/1.7021276595745=x
58.75=x
x=58.75

now we have:
61.1 is 58.75% of 104
