5.2 is what percent of 530.332 - 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 530.332 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 530.332, so we can write it down as 100%=530.332.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=530.332
2) x%=5.2
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%=530.332/5.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.2 is what percent of 530.332

100%/x%=530.332/5.2
(100/x)*x=(530.332/5.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=101.98692307692*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.98692307692) to get x
100/101.98692307692=x
0.98051786428124=x
x=0.98051786428124

now we have:
5.2 is 0.98051786428124% of 530.332
