What is 5.43 percent of 5137 - 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 5137 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 5137 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5137=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5137=100%
2) x=5.43%
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:
5137/x=100%/5.43%
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 5.43% of 5137

5137/x=100/5.43
(5137/x)*x=(100/5.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5137=18.41620626151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.41620626151) to get x
5137/18.41620626151=x
278.9391=x
x=278.9391

now we have:
5.43% of 5137=278.9391
