What is 12.04 percent of 5309 - 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 5309 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 5309 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5309=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.04% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.04%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5309=100%
2) x=12.04%
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:
5309/x=100%/12.04%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 12.04% of 5309

5309/x=100/12.04
(5309/x)*x=(100/12.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5309=8.3056478405316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3056478405316) to get x
5309/8.3056478405316=x
639.2036=x
x=639.2036

now we have:
12.04% of 5309=639.2036
