5.64 is what percent of 6.25 - 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 6.25 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 6.25, so we can write it down as 100%=6.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.25
2) x%=5.64
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%=6.25/5.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.64 is what percent of 6.25

100%/x%=6.25/5.64
(100/x)*x=(6.25/5.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1081560283688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1081560283688) to get x
100/1.1081560283688=x
90.24=x
x=90.24

now we have:
5.64 is 90.24% of 6.25
