10146 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 10146 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10146.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=10146
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%=5/10146
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10146 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/10146
(100/x)*x=(5/10146)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00049280504632367*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00049280504632367) to get x
100/0.00049280504632367=x
202920=x
x=202920

now we have:
10146 is 202920% of 5
