5173.9 is what percent of 5007 - 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 5007 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 5007, so we can write it down as 100%=5007.
4. We know, that x% equals 5173.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5173.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5007
2) x%=5173.9
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%=5007/5173.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5173.9 is what percent of 5007

100%/x%=5007/5173.9
(100/x)*x=(5007/5173.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.96774193548387*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.96774193548387) to get x
100/0.96774193548387=x
103.33333333333=x
x=103.33333333333

now we have:
5173.9 is 103.33333333333% of 5007
