53 is what percent of 2570 - 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 2570 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 2570, so we can write it down as 100%=2570.
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%=2570
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%=2570/53
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 2570

100%/x%=2570/53
(100/x)*x=(2570/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=48.490566037736*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (48.490566037736) to get x
100/48.490566037736=x
2.0622568093385=x
x=2.0622568093385

now we have:
53 is 2.0622568093385% of 2570
