53 is what percent of 3778 - 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 3778 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 3778, so we can write it down as 100%=3778.
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%=3778
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%=3778/53
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 3778

100%/x%=3778/53
(100/x)*x=(3778/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=71.283018867925*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.283018867925) to get x
100/71.283018867925=x
1.4028586553732=x
x=1.4028586553732

now we have:
53 is 1.4028586553732% of 3778
