52.05 is what percent of 1031.75 - 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 1031.75 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 1031.75, so we can write it down as 100%=1031.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 52.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=52.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1031.75
2) x%=52.05
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%=1031.75/52.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 52.05 is what percent of 1031.75

100%/x%=1031.75/52.05
(100/x)*x=(1031.75/52.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.822286263208*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.822286263208) to get x
100/19.822286263208=x
5.0448267506663=x
x=5.0448267506663

now we have:
52.05 is 5.0448267506663% of 1031.75
