3552.46 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 3552.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3552.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5000
2) x%=3552.46
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%=5000/3552.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3552.46 is what percent of 5000

100%/x%=5000/3552.46
(100/x)*x=(5000/3552.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4074753832555*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4074753832555) to get x
100/1.4074753832555=x
71.0492=x
x=71.0492

now we have:
3552.46 is 71.0492% of 5000
