What is 55 percent of 43.54 - 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 43.54 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 43.54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43.54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43.54=100%
2) x=55%
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:
43.54/x=100%/55%
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 55% of 43.54

43.54/x=100/55
(43.54/x)*x=(100/55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43.54=1.8181818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8181818181818) to get x
43.54/1.8181818181818=x
23.947=x
x=23.947

now we have:
55% of 43.54=23.947
