204.35 is what percent of 5058.38 - 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 5058.38 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 5058.38, so we can write it down as 100%=5058.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 204.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=204.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5058.38
2) x%=204.35
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%=5058.38/204.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 204.35 is what percent of 5058.38

100%/x%=5058.38/204.35
(100/x)*x=(5058.38/204.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.7535111329*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.7535111329) to get x
100/24.7535111329=x
4.03983093401=x
x=4.03983093401

now we have:
204.35 is 4.03983093401% of 5058.38
