1026.15 is what percent of 50500 - 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 50500 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 50500, so we can write it down as 100%=50500.
4. We know, that x% equals 1026.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1026.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50500
2) x%=1026.15
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%=50500/1026.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1026.15 is what percent of 50500

100%/x%=50500/1026.15
(100/x)*x=(50500/1026.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.213078010038*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.213078010038) to get x
100/49.213078010038=x
2.0319801980198=x
x=2.0319801980198

now we have:
1026.15 is 2.0319801980198% of 50500
