Question: 98 is what percent of 56?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 56 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=56

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=98

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=56

x%=98

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100/x% = 56/98

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x%/100%=98/56

x = 175%

Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56.
