What is 91.25 percent of 5.2 - 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 5.2 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 5.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 91.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=91.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.2=100%
2) x=91.25%
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:
5.2/x=100%/91.25%
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 91.25% of 5.2

5.2/x=100/91.25
(5.2/x)*x=(100/91.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.2=1.0958904109589*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0958904109589) to get x
5.2/1.0958904109589=x
4.745=x
x=4.745

now we have:
91.25% of 5.2=4.745
