1388.33 is what percent of 5243 - 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 5243 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 100% equals 5243, so we can write it down as 100%=5243.
4. We know, that x% equals 1388.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1388.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5243
2) x%=1388.33
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:
100%/x%=5243/1388.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1388.33 is what percent of 5243

100%/x%=5243/1388.33
(100/x)*x=(5243/1388.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7764796554133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7764796554133) to get x
100/3.7764796554133=x
26.479687201984=x
x=26.479687201984

now we have:
1388.33 is 26.479687201984% of 5243
