52 is what percent of 144239 - 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 144239 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 144239, so we can write it down as 100%=144239.
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%=144239
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%=144239/52
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 144239

100%/x%=144239/52
(100/x)*x=(144239/52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2773.8269230769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2773.8269230769) to get x
100/2773.8269230769=x
0.036051276007183=x
x=0.036051276007183

now we have:
