53.13 is what percent of 8.29 - 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 8.29 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 8.29, so we can write it down as 100%=8.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 53.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=53.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8.29
2) x%=53.13
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%=8.29/53.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 53.13 is what percent of 8.29

100%/x%=8.29/53.13
(100/x)*x=(8.29/53.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.15603237342368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.15603237342368) to get x
100/0.15603237342368=x
640.89264173703=x
x=640.89264173703

now we have:
53.13 is 640.89264173703% of 8.29
