5036.25 is what percent of 27000 - 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 27000 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 27000, so we can write it down as 100%=27000.
4. We know, that x% equals 5036.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5036.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27000
2) x%=5036.25
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%=27000/5036.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5036.25 is what percent of 27000

100%/x%=27000/5036.25
(100/x)*x=(27000/5036.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3611317944899*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3611317944899) to get x
100/5.3611317944899=x
18.652777777778=x
x=18.652777777778

now we have:
5036.25 is 18.652777777778% of 27000
