What is 4.73 percent of 5.25 - 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 5.25 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 5.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.25=100%
2) x=4.73%
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:
5.25/x=100%/4.73%
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 4.73% of 5.25

5.25/x=100/4.73
(5.25/x)*x=(100/4.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.25=21.141649048626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.141649048626) to get x
5.25/21.141649048626=x
0.248325=x
x=0.248325

now we have:
4.73% of 5.25=0.248325
