56 is what percent of 419 - 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 419 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 419, so we can write it down as 100%=419.
4. We know, that x% equals 56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=419
2) x%=56
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%=419/56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56 is what percent of 419

100%/x%=419/56
(100/x)*x=(419/56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.48214285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.48214285714) to get x
100/7.48214285714=x
13.3651551313=x
x=13.3651551313

now we have:
56 is 13.3651551313% of 419
