54 is what percent of 113 - 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 113 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 113, so we can write it down as 100%=113.
4. We know, that x% equals 54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=113
2) x%=54
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%=113/54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54 is what percent of 113

100%/x%=113/54
(100/x)*x=(113/54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.09259259259*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.09259259259) to get x
100/2.09259259259=x
47.7876106195=x
x=47.7876106195

now we have:
54 is 47.7876106195% of 113
