5 is what percent of 4356 - 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 4356 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 4356, so we can write it down as 100%=4356.
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%=4356
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%=4356/5
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 4356

100%/x%=4356/5
(100/x)*x=(4356/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=871.2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (871.2) to get x
100/871.2=x
0.1147842056933=x
x=0.1147842056933

now we have:
5 is 0.1147842056933% of 4356
