50.06 is what percent of 984.33 - 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 984.33 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 984.33, so we can write it down as 100%=984.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=984.33
2) x%=50.06
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%=984.33/50.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.06 is what percent of 984.33

100%/x%=984.33/50.06
(100/x)*x=(984.33/50.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.663004394726*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.663004394726) to get x
100/19.663004394726=x
5.0856928062743=x
x=5.0856928062743

now we have:
50.06 is 5.0856928062743% of 984.33
