49.51 is what percent of 2130 - 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 2130 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 2130, so we can write it down as 100%=2130.
4. We know, that x% equals 49.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2130
2) x%=49.51
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%=2130/49.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49.51 is what percent of 2130

100%/x%=2130/49.51
(100/x)*x=(2130/49.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.021611795597*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.021611795597) to get x
100/43.021611795597=x
2.3244131455399=x
x=2.3244131455399

now we have:
49.51 is 2.3244131455399% of 2130
