1.55 is what percent of 66.32 - 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 66.32 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 100% equals 66.32, so we can write it down as 100%=66.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66.32
2) x%=1.55
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:
100%/x%=66.32/1.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.55 is what percent of 66.32

100%/x%=66.32/1.55
(100/x)*x=(66.32/1.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=42.787096774194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.787096774194) to get x
100/42.787096774194=x
2.3371531966224=x
x=2.3371531966224

now we have:
1.55 is 2.3371531966224% of 66.32
