What is 5.35 percent of 989.25 - 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 989.25 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 989.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 989.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 989.25=100%
2) x=5.35%
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:
989.25/x=100%/5.35%
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 5.35% of 989.25

989.25/x=100/5.35
(989.25/x)*x=(100/5.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
989.25=18.691588785047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.691588785047) to get x
989.25/18.691588785047=x
52.924875=x
x=52.924875

now we have:
5.35% of 989.25=52.924875
