5095.9 is what percent of 48.197 - 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 48.197 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 48.197, so we can write it down as 100%=48.197.
4. We know, that x% equals 5095.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5095.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48.197
2) x%=5095.9
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%=48.197/5095.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5095.9 is what percent of 48.197

100%/x%=48.197/5095.9
(100/x)*x=(48.197/5095.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0094579956435566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0094579956435566) to get x
100/0.0094579956435566=x
10573.064713571=x
x=10573.064713571

now we have:
