What is 49.7 percent of 5250 - 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 5250 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 5250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5250=100%
2) x=49.7%
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:
5250/x=100%/49.7%
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 49.7% of 5250

5250/x=100/49.7
(5250/x)*x=(100/49.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5250=2.0120724346076*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0120724346076) to get x
5250/2.0120724346076=x
2609.25=x
x=2609.25

now we have:
49.7% of 5250=2609.25
