What is 38.125 percent of 53.94 - 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 53.94 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 53.94 is 100%, so we can write it down as 53.94=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 53.94=100%
2) x=38.125%
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:
53.94/x=100%/38.125%
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 38.125% of 53.94

53.94/x=100/38.125
(53.94/x)*x=(100/38.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
53.94=2.6229508196721*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6229508196721) to get x
53.94/2.6229508196721=x
20.564625=x
x=20.564625

now we have:
38.125% of 53.94=20.564625
