5020.28 is what percent of 5657 - 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 5657 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 5657, so we can write it down as 100%=5657.
4. We know, that x% equals 5020.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5020.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5657
2) x%=5020.28
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%=5657/5020.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5020.28 is what percent of 5657

100%/x%=5657/5020.28
(100/x)*x=(5657/5020.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1268295792267*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1268295792267) to get x
100/1.1268295792267=x
88.744564256673=x
x=88.744564256673

now we have:
5020.28 is 88.744564256673% of 5657
