5.28 is what percent of 149.91 - 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 149.91 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 149.91, so we can write it down as 100%=149.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=149.91
2) x%=5.28
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%=149.91/5.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.28 is what percent of 149.91

100%/x%=149.91/5.28
(100/x)*x=(149.91/5.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28.392045454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.392045454545) to get x
100/28.392045454545=x
3.5221132679608=x
x=3.5221132679608

now we have:
5.28 is 3.5221132679608% of 149.91
