6.24 is what percent of 54.43 - 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 54.43 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 54.43, so we can write it down as 100%=54.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.43
2) x%=6.24
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%=54.43/6.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.24 is what percent of 54.43

100%/x%=54.43/6.24
(100/x)*x=(54.43/6.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.7227564102564*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7227564102564) to get x
100/8.7227564102564=x
11.464266029763=x
x=11.464266029763

now we have:
6.24 is 11.464266029763% of 54.43
