79 is what percent of 5328 - 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 5328 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 5328, so we can write it down as 100%=5328.
4. We know, that x% equals 79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5328
2) x%=79
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%=5328/79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79 is what percent of 5328

100%/x%=5328/79
(100/x)*x=(5328/79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.443037974684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.443037974684) to get x
100/67.443037974684=x
1.4827327327327=x
x=1.4827327327327

now we have:
79 is 1.4827327327327% of 5328
