52.05 is what percent of 74.8 - 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 74.8 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 74.8, so we can write it down as 100%=74.8.
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%=74.8
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%=74.8/52.05
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 74.8

100%/x%=74.8/52.05
(100/x)*x=(74.8/52.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4370797310279*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4370797310279) to get x
100/1.4370797310279=x
69.585561497326=x
x=69.585561497326

now we have:
52.05 is 69.585561497326% of 74.8
