79.04 is what percent of 5235 - 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 5235 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 5235, so we can write it down as 100%=5235.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5235
2) x%=79.04
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%=5235/79.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.04 is what percent of 5235

100%/x%=5235/79.04
(100/x)*x=(5235/79.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.232287449393*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.232287449393) to get x
100/66.232287449393=x
1.5098376313276=x
x=1.5098376313276

now we have:
79.04 is 1.5098376313276% of 5235
