What is 50.25 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 50.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55=100%
2) x=50.25%
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%/50.25%
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 50.25% of 55

55/x=100/50.25
(55/x)*x=(100/50.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55=1.9900497512438*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9900497512438) to get x
55/1.9900497512438=x
27.6375=x
x=27.6375

now we have:
50.25% of 55=27.6375
