2648.24 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 2648.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2648.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5000
2) x%=2648.24
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%=5000/2648.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2648.24 is what percent of 5000

100%/x%=5000/2648.24
(100/x)*x=(5000/2648.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8880464006283*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8880464006283) to get x
100/1.8880464006283=x
52.9648=x
x=52.9648

now we have:
2648.24 is 52.9648% of 5000
