57 is what percent of 5403 - 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 5403 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 5403, so we can write it down as 100%=5403.
4. We know, that x% equals 57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5403
2) x%=57
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%=5403/57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57 is what percent of 5403

100%/x%=5403/57
(100/x)*x=(5403/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=94.789473684211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (94.789473684211) to get x
100/94.789473684211=x
1.0549694614103=x
x=1.0549694614103

now we have:
57 is 1.0549694614103% of 5403
