What is 3.24 percent of 5383 - 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 5383 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 5383 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5383=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5383=100%
2) x=3.24%
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:
5383/x=100%/3.24%
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 3.24% of 5383

5383/x=100/3.24
(5383/x)*x=(100/3.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5383=30.864197530864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.864197530864) to get x
5383/30.864197530864=x
174.4092=x
x=174.4092

now we have:
3.24% of 5383=174.4092
