5.13 is what percent of 73.24 - 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 73.24 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 73.24, so we can write it down as 100%=73.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73.24
2) x%=5.13
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%=73.24/5.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.13 is what percent of 73.24

100%/x%=73.24/5.13
(100/x)*x=(73.24/5.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.276803118908*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.276803118908) to get x
100/14.276803118908=x
7.00436919716=x
x=7.00436919716

now we have:
5.13 is 7.00436919716% of 73.24
