207.06 is what percent of 5000 - 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 5000 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 5000, so we can write it down as 100%=5000.
4. We know, that x% equals 207.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=207.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5000
2) x%=207.06
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%=5000/207.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 207.06 is what percent of 5000

100%/x%=5000/207.06
(100/x)*x=(5000/207.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.147590070511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.147590070511) to get x
100/24.147590070511=x
4.1412=x
x=4.1412

now we have:
207.06 is 4.1412% of 5000
