104.8 is what percent of 52 - 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 52 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 52, so we can write it down as 100%=52.
4. We know, that x% equals 104.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=104.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52
2) x%=104.8
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%=52/104.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 104.8 is what percent of 52

100%/x%=52/104.8
(100/x)*x=(52/104.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.49618320610687*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.49618320610687) to get x
100/0.49618320610687=x
201.53846153846=x
x=201.53846153846

now we have:
104.8 is 201.53846153846% of 52
