54 is what percent more than 30?

First, we must set up our equation. One strategy is to find what percentage 30 is of 54, then find the remainder and that would be the answer. Since we are looking for the percentage more than 30 we will set that percentage to x: 54x = 30

54x/54 - 30/54

x = 5/9 = 0.56 = 56%

Now we just find the remainder: 100-56= 44

So, 54 is 44% more than 30.
