52 is what percent of 14175 - 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 14175 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 14175, so we can write it down as 100%=14175.
4. We know, that x% equals 52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14175
2) x%=52
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%=14175/52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 52 is what percent of 14175

100%/x%=14175/52
(100/x)*x=(14175/52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=272.59615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (272.59615384615) to get x
100/272.59615384615=x
0.3668430335097=x
x=0.3668430335097

now we have:
52 is 0.3668430335097% of 14175
