53 is what percent of 5014 - 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 5014 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 5014, so we can write it down as 100%=5014.
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%=5014
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%=5014/53
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 5014

100%/x%=5014/53
(100/x)*x=(5014/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=94.603773584906*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (94.603773584906) to get x
100/94.603773584906=x
1.0570402871959=x
x=1.0570402871959

now we have:
53 is 1.0570402871959% of 5014
