☁️ Answer ☁️

27 is 50% of 54

We assume, that the number 50 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 50, so we can write it down as 100%=50.

4. We know, that x% equals 27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=50

2) x%=27

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%=50/27

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27 is what percent of 50

100%/x%=50/27

(100/x)*x=(50/27)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.85185185185*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.85185185185) to get x

100/1.85185185185=x

54=x

x=54
