7.65 is what percent of 55.54 - 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 55.54 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 55.54, so we can write it down as 100%=55.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55.54
2) x%=7.65
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%=55.54/7.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.65 is what percent of 55.54

100%/x%=55.54/7.65
(100/x)*x=(55.54/7.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2601307189542*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2601307189542) to get x
100/7.2601307189542=x
13.77385667987=x
x=13.77385667987

now we have:
7.65 is 13.77385667987% of 55.54
