What is 245 percent of 5.5 - 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 5.5 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 5.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 245% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=245%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.5=100%
2) x=245%
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:
5.5/x=100%/245%
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 245% of 5.5

5.5/x=100/245
(5.5/x)*x=(100/245)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.5=0.40816326530612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.40816326530612) to get x
5.5/0.40816326530612=x
13.475=x
x=13.475

now we have:
245% of 5.5=13.475
