391.2 is what percent of 52000 - 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 52000 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 52000, so we can write it down as 100%=52000.
4. We know, that x% equals 391.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=391.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52000
2) x%=391.2
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%=52000/391.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 391.2 is what percent of 52000

100%/x%=52000/391.2
(100/x)*x=(52000/391.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=132.92433537832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (132.92433537832) to get x
100/132.92433537832=x
0.75230769230769=x
x=0.75230769230769

now we have:
391.2 is 0.75230769230769% of 52000
