What is 100.5 percent of 55.4 - 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 55.4 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 55.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 100.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=100.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55.4=100%
2) x=100.5%
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:
55.4/x=100%/100.5%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 100.5% of 55.4

55.4/x=100/100.5
(55.4/x)*x=(100/100.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55.4=0.99502487562189*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.99502487562189) to get x
55.4/0.99502487562189=x
55.677=x
x=55.677

now we have:
100.5% of 55.4=55.677
