53 is what percent of 573 - 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 573 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 573, so we can write it down as 100%=573.
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%=573
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%=573/53
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 573

100%/x%=573/53
(100/x)*x=(573/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.811320754717*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.811320754717) to get x
100/10.811320754717=x
9.2495636998255=x
x=9.2495636998255

now we have:
53 is 9.2495636998255% of 573
