1 is what percent of 5451 - 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 5451 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 5451, so we can write it down as 100%=5451.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5451
2) x%=1
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%=5451/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 5451

100%/x%=5451/1
(100/x)*x=(5451/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5451) to get x
100/5451=x
0.018345257750871=x
x=0.018345257750871

now we have:
1 is 0.018345257750871% of 5451
