55 is what percent of 80850000 - 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 80850000 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 80850000, so we can write it down as 100%=80850000.
4. We know, that x% equals 55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80850000
2) x%=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%=80850000/55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 55 is what percent of 80850000

100%/x%=80850000/55
(100/x)*x=(80850000/55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1470000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1470000) to get x
100/1470000=x
6.8027210884354E-5=x
x=6.8027210884354E-5

now we have:
55 is 6.8027210884354E-5% of 80850000
