5 is what percent of 93.02 - 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 93.02 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 93.02, so we can write it down as 100%=93.02.
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%=93.02
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%=93.02/5
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 93.02

100%/x%=93.02/5
(100/x)*x=(93.02/5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.604) to get x
100/18.604=x
5.3751881315846=x
x=5.3751881315846

now we have:
5 is 5.3751881315846% of 93.02
