10.03 is what percent of 2010 - 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 2010 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 2010, so we can write it down as 100%=2010.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2010
2) x%=10.03
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%=2010/10.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.03 is what percent of 2010

100%/x%=2010/10.03
(100/x)*x=(2010/10.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=200.39880358923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (200.39880358923) to get x
100/200.39880358923=x
0.49900497512438=x
x=0.49900497512438

now we have:
10.03 is 0.49900497512438% of 2010
