61.6 is what percent of 124.6 - 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 124.6 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 124.6, so we can write it down as 100%=124.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=124.6
2) x%=61.6
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%=124.6/61.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.6 is what percent of 124.6

100%/x%=124.6/61.6
(100/x)*x=(124.6/61.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0227272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0227272727273) to get x
100/2.0227272727273=x
49.438202247191=x
x=49.438202247191

now we have:
61.6 is 49.438202247191% of 124.6
