62.15 is what percent of 554.9 - 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 554.9 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 554.9, so we can write it down as 100%=554.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 62.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=554.9
2) x%=62.15
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%=554.9/62.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.15 is what percent of 554.9

100%/x%=554.9/62.15
(100/x)*x=(554.9/62.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9283990345937*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9283990345937) to get x
100/8.9283990345937=x
11.200216255181=x
x=11.200216255181

now we have:
62.15 is 11.200216255181% of 554.9
