9.03 is what percent of 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 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 54, so we can write it down as 100%=54.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54
2) x%=9.03
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%=54/9.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.03 is what percent of 54

100%/x%=54/9.03
(100/x)*x=(54/9.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9800664451827*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9800664451827) to get x
100/5.9800664451827=x
16.722222222222=x
x=16.722222222222

now we have:
9.03 is 16.722222222222% of 54
