5 is what percent of 46036 - 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 46036 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 46036, so we can write it down as 100%=46036.
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%=46036
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%=46036/5
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 46036

100%/x%=46036/5
(100/x)*x=(46036/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9207.2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9207.2) to get x
100/9207.2=x
0.01086106525328=x
x=0.01086106525328

now we have:
5 is 0.01086106525328% of 46036
