65.53 is what percent of 360 - 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 360 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 360, so we can write it down as 100%=360.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=360
2) x%=65.53
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%=360/65.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.53 is what percent of 360

100%/x%=360/65.53
(100/x)*x=(360/65.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4936670227377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4936670227377) to get x
100/5.4936670227377=x
18.202777777778=x
x=18.202777777778

now we have:
65.53 is 18.202777777778% of 360
