What is 5.304 percent of 5096 - 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 5096 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 5096 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5096=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.304% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.304%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5096=100%
2) x=5.304%
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:
5096/x=100%/5.304%
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 5.304% of 5096

5096/x=100/5.304
(5096/x)*x=(100/5.304)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5096=18.853695324284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.853695324284) to get x
5096/18.853695324284=x
270.29184=x
x=270.29184

now we have:
5.304% of 5096=270.29184
