53 is what percent of 103000 - 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 103000 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 103000, so we can write it down as 100%=103000.
4. We know, that x% equals 53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=103000
2) x%=53
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%=103000/53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 53 is what percent of 103000

100%/x%=103000/53
(100/x)*x=(103000/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1943.3962264151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1943.3962264151) to get x
100/1943.3962264151=x
0.051456310679612=x
x=0.051456310679612

now we have:
53 is 0.051456310679612% of 103000
