5012.13 is what percent of 15495 - 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 15495 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 15495, so we can write it down as 100%=15495.
4. We know, that x% equals 5012.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5012.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15495
2) x%=5012.13
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%=15495/5012.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5012.13 is what percent of 15495

100%/x%=15495/5012.13
(100/x)*x=(15495/5012.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0915000209492*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0915000209492) to get x
100/3.0915000209492=x
32.346757018393=x
x=32.346757018393

now we have:
