52.69 is what percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100, so we can write it down as 100%=100.
4. We know, that x% equals 52.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=52.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100
2) x%=52.69
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%=100/52.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 52.69 is what percent of 100

100%/x%=100/52.69
(100/x)*x=(100/52.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8978933383944*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8978933383944) to get x
100/1.8978933383944=x
52.69=x
x=52.69

now we have:
52.69 is 52.69% of 100
