43.24 is what percent of 5833 - 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 5833 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 5833, so we can write it down as 100%=5833.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5833
2) x%=43.24
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%=5833/43.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.24 is what percent of 5833

100%/x%=5833/43.24
(100/x)*x=(5833/43.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=134.89824236818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (134.89824236818) to get x
100/134.89824236818=x
0.74129950282873=x
x=0.74129950282873

now we have:
43.24 is 0.74129950282873% of 5833
