5 is what percent of 4110 - 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 4110 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 4110, so we can write it down as 100%=4110.
4. We know, that x% equals 5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4110
2) x%=5
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%=4110/5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5 is what percent of 4110

100%/x%=4110/5
(100/x)*x=(4110/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=822*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (822) to get x
100/822=x
0.12165450121655=x
x=0.12165450121655

now we have:
5 is 0.12165450121655% of 4110
