What is 5.123 percent of 51.23 - 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 51.23 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 51.23 is 100%, so we can write it down as 51.23=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.123% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.123%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 51.23=100%
2) x=5.123%
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:
51.23/x=100%/5.123%
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 5.123% of 51.23

51.23/x=100/5.123
(51.23/x)*x=(100/5.123)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
51.23=19.519812609799*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.519812609799) to get x
51.23/19.519812609799=x
2.6245129=x
x=2.6245129

now we have:
5.123% of 51.23=2.6245129
