What is 64.47 percent of 550 - 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 550 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 550 is 100%, so we can write it down as 550=100%.
4. We know, that x is 64.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=64.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 550=100%
2) x=64.47%
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:
550/x=100%/64.47%
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 64.47% of 550

550/x=100/64.47
(550/x)*x=(100/64.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
550=1.5511090429657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5511090429657) to get x
550/1.5511090429657=x
354.585=x
x=354.585

now we have:
64.47% of 550=354.585
