5026.85 is what percent of 16200 - 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 16200 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 16200, so we can write it down as 100%=16200.
4. We know, that x% equals 5026.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5026.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16200
2) x%=5026.85
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%=16200/5026.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5026.85 is what percent of 16200
