What is 960 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 960% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=960%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.2=100%
2) x=960%
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%/960%
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 960% of 5.2

5.2/x=100/960
(5.2/x)*x=(100/960)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.2=0.10416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10416666666667) to get x
5.2/0.10416666666667=x
49.92=x
x=49.92

now we have:
960% of 5.2=49.92
