What is 113.4 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 55 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55=100%.
4. We know, that x is 113.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=113.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55=100%
2) x=113.4%
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/x=100%/113.4%
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 113.4% of 55

55/x=100/113.4
(55/x)*x=(100/113.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55=0.88183421516755*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.88183421516755) to get x
55/0.88183421516755=x
62.37=x
x=62.37

now we have:
113.4% of 55=62.37
