5.39 is what percent of 107.17 - 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 107.17 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 107.17, so we can write it down as 100%=107.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=107.17
2) x%=5.39
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%=107.17/5.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.39 is what percent of 107.17

100%/x%=107.17/5.39
(100/x)*x=(107.17/5.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.883116883117*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.883116883117) to get x
100/19.883116883117=x
5.0293925538863=x
x=5.0293925538863

now we have:
5.39 is 5.0293925538863% of 107.17
