9.25 is what percent of 55 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=55.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55
2) x%=9.25
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%=55/9.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.25 is what percent of 55

100%/x%=55/9.25
(100/x)*x=(55/9.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9459459459459*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9459459459459) to get x
100/5.9459459459459=x
16.818181818182=x
x=16.818181818182

now we have:
9.25 is 16.818181818182% of 55
