What is 52.52 percent of 55.97 - 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 55.97 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 55.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55.97=100%
2) x=52.52%
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:
55.97/x=100%/52.52%
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 52.52% of 55.97

55.97/x=100/52.52
(55.97/x)*x=(100/52.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55.97=1.9040365575019*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9040365575019) to get x
55.97/1.9040365575019=x
29.395444=x
x=29.395444

now we have:
52.52% of 55.97=29.395444
