What is 5.326 percent of 799 - 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 799 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 799 is 100%, so we can write it down as 799=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.326% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.326%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 799=100%
2) x=5.326%
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:
799/x=100%/5.326%
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 5.326% of 799

799/x=100/5.326
(799/x)*x=(100/5.326)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
799=18.775816748029*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.775816748029) to get x
799/18.775816748029=x
42.55474=x
x=42.55474

now we have:
5.326% of 799=42.55474
