51 is what percent of 13248 - 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 13248 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 13248, so we can write it down as 100%=13248.
4. We know, that x% equals 51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13248
2) x%=51
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%=13248/51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 51 is what percent of 13248

100%/x%=13248/51
(100/x)*x=(13248/51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=259.76470588235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (259.76470588235) to get x
100/259.76470588235=x
0.38496376811594=x
x=0.38496376811594

now we have:
51 is 0.38496376811594% of 13248
