52 is what percent of 94516 - 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 94516 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 94516, so we can write it down as 100%=94516.
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%=94516
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%=94516/52
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 94516

100%/x%=94516/52
(100/x)*x=(94516/52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1817.6153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1817.6153846154) to get x
100/1817.6153846154=x
0.05501713995514=x
x=0.05501713995514

now we have:
52 is 0.05501713995514% of 94516
