51.07 is what percent of 4500 - 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 4500 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 4500, so we can write it down as 100%=4500.
4. We know, that x% equals 51.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=51.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4500
2) x%=51.07
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%=4500/51.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 51.07 is what percent of 4500

100%/x%=4500/51.07
(100/x)*x=(4500/51.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=88.114352849031*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (88.114352849031) to get x
100/88.114352849031=x
1.1348888888889=x
x=1.1348888888889

now we have:
51.07 is 1.1348888888889% of 4500
