132.61 is what percent of 5.3 - 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 5.3 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 5.3, so we can write it down as 100%=5.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.3
2) x%=132.61
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%=5.3/132.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.61 is what percent of 5.3

100%/x%=5.3/132.61
(100/x)*x=(5.3/132.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.039966819998492*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.039966819998492) to get x
100/0.039966819998492=x
2502.0754716981=x
x=2502.0754716981

now we have:
132.61 is 2502.0754716981% of 5.3
