2122.27 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 2122.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2122.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5000
2) x%=2122.27
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%=5000/2122.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2122.27 is what percent of 5000

100%/x%=5000/2122.27
(100/x)*x=(5000/2122.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3559679022933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3559679022933) to get x
100/2.3559679022933=x
42.4454=x
x=42.4454

now we have:
2122.27 is 42.4454% of 5000
