52 is what percent of 25733 - 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 25733 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 25733, so we can write it down as 100%=25733.
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%=25733
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%=25733/52
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 25733

100%/x%=25733/52
(100/x)*x=(25733/52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=494.86538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (494.86538461538) to get x
100/494.86538461538=x
0.20207515641394=x
x=0.20207515641394

now we have:
52 is 0.20207515641394% of 25733
