5045 is what percent of 47800 - 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 47800 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 47800, so we can write it down as 100%=47800.
4. We know, that x% equals 5045 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5045.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47800
2) x%=5045
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%=47800/5045
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5045 is what percent of 47800

100%/x%=47800/5045
(100/x)*x=(47800/5045)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.4747274529237*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4747274529237) to get x
100/9.4747274529237=x
10.554393305439=x
x=10.554393305439

now we have:
5045 is 10.554393305439% of 47800
