We assume, that the number 56.25 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 56.25, so we can write it down as 100%=56.25. 4. We know, that x% equals 49.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.5. 5. Now we have two simple equations: 1) 100%=56.25 2) x%=49.5 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%=56.25/49.5 6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 49.5 is what percent of 56.25
100%/x%=56.25/49.5 (100/x)x=(56.25/49.5)x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100=1.13636363636*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.13636363636) to get x 100/1.13636363636=x 88=x x=88
