54 is what percent of 5048 - 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 5048 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 5048, so we can write it down as 100%=5048.
4. We know, that x% equals 54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5048
2) x%=54
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%=5048/54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 54 is what percent of 5048

100%/x%=5048/54
(100/x)*x=(5048/54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=93.481481481481*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (93.481481481481) to get x
100/93.481481481481=x
1.0697305863708=x
x=1.0697305863708

now we have:
54 is 1.0697305863708% of 5048
