3.26 is what percent of 54.37 - 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 54.37 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 54.37, so we can write it down as 100%=54.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.37
2) x%=3.26
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%=54.37/3.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.26 is what percent of 54.37

100%/x%=54.37/3.26
(100/x)*x=(54.37/3.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.677914110429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.677914110429) to get x
100/16.677914110429=x
5.9959536509104=x
x=5.9959536509104

now we have:
3.26 is 5.9959536509104% of 54.37
