What is 108.8 percent of 54.4 - 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 54.4 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 54.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 54.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 108.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=108.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 54.4=100%
2) x=108.8%
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:
54.4/x=100%/108.8%
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 108.8% of 54.4

54.4/x=100/108.8
(54.4/x)*x=(100/108.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
54.4=0.91911764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91911764705882) to get x
54.4/0.91911764705882=x
59.1872=x
x=59.1872

now we have:
108.8% of 54.4=59.1872
