52.05 is what percent of 147 - 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 147 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 147, so we can write it down as 100%=147.
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%=147
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%=147/52.05
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 147

100%/x%=147/52.05
(100/x)*x=(147/52.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8242074927954*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8242074927954) to get x
100/2.8242074927954=x
35.408163265306=x
x=35.408163265306

now we have:
52.05 is 35.408163265306% of 147
