90.55 is what percent of 562 - 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 562 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 562, so we can write it down as 100%=562.
4. We know, that x% equals 90.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=562
2) x%=90.55
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%=562/90.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90.55 is what percent of 562

100%/x%=562/90.55
(100/x)*x=(562/90.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.2065157371618*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.2065157371618) to get x
100/6.2065157371618=x
16.112099644128=x
x=16.112099644128

now we have:
90.55 is 16.112099644128% of 562
