What is 108.7 percent of 5.45 - 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 5.45 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 5.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 108.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=108.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.45=100%
2) x=108.7%
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:
5.45/x=100%/108.7%
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 108.7% of 5.45

5.45/x=100/108.7
(5.45/x)*x=(100/108.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.45=0.91996320147194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91996320147194) to get x
5.45/0.91996320147194=x
5.92415=x
x=5.92415

now we have:
108.7% of 5.45=5.92415
