3.8332 is what percent of 5 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.8332 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.8332.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=3.8332
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%=5/3.8332
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.8332 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/3.8332
(100/x)*x=(5/3.8332)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3043931962851*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3043931962851) to get x
100/1.3043931962851=x
76.664=x
x=76.664

now we have:
3.8332 is 76.664% of 5
