5492.01 is what percent of 21125 - 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 21125 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 21125, so we can write it down as 100%=21125.
4. We know, that x% equals 5492.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5492.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21125
2) x%=5492.01
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%=21125/5492.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5492.01 is what percent of 21125

100%/x%=21125/5492.01
(100/x)*x=(21125/5492.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8464970020084*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8464970020084) to get x
100/3.8464970020084=x
25.997680473373=x
x=25.997680473373

now we have:
