4752 is what percent of 5864 - 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 5864 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 5864, so we can write it down as 100%=5864.
4. We know, that x% equals 4752 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4752.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5864
2) x%=4752
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%=5864/4752
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4752 is what percent of 5864

100%/x%=5864/4752
(100/x)*x=(5864/4752)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2340067340067*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2340067340067) to get x
100/1.2340067340067=x
81.036834924966=x
x=81.036834924966

now we have:
4752 is 81.036834924966% of 5864
