624.08 is what percent of 55000 - 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 55000 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 55000, so we can write it down as 100%=55000.
4. We know, that x% equals 624.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=624.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55000
2) x%=624.08
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%=55000/624.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 624.08 is what percent of 55000

100%/x%=55000/624.08
(100/x)*x=(55000/624.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=88.129726958082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (88.129726958082) to get x
100/88.129726958082=x
1.1346909090909=x
x=1.1346909090909

now we have:
624.08 is 1.1346909090909% of 55000
