5.26 is what percent of 1057.28 - 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 1057.28 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 1057.28, so we can write it down as 100%=1057.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1057.28
2) x%=5.26
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%=1057.28/5.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.26 is what percent of 1057.28

100%/x%=1057.28/5.26
(100/x)*x=(1057.28/5.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=201.00380228137*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (201.00380228137) to get x
100/201.00380228137=x
0.49750302663438=x
x=0.49750302663438

now we have:
5.26 is 0.49750302663438% of 1057.28
