What is 3.73 percent of 5264 - 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 5264 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 5264 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5264=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5264=100%
2) x=3.73%
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:
5264/x=100%/3.73%
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 3.73% of 5264

5264/x=100/3.73
(5264/x)*x=(100/3.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5264=26.809651474531*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.809651474531) to get x
5264/26.809651474531=x
196.3472=x
x=196.3472

now we have:
3.73% of 5264=196.3472
