61.6 is what percent of 1352 - 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 1352 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 1352, so we can write it down as 100%=1352.
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%=1352
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%=1352/61.6
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 1352

100%/x%=1352/61.6
(100/x)*x=(1352/61.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.948051948052*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.948051948052) to get x
100/21.948051948052=x
4.5562130177515=x
x=4.5562130177515

now we have:
61.6 is 4.5562130177515% of 1352
