4729.52 is what percent of 5372 - 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 5372 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 5372, so we can write it down as 100%=5372.
4. We know, that x% equals 4729.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4729.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5372
2) x%=4729.52
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%=5372/4729.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4729.52 is what percent of 5372

100%/x%=5372/4729.52
(100/x)*x=(5372/4729.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1358446523114*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1358446523114) to get x
100/1.1358446523114=x
88.040208488459=x
x=88.040208488459

now we have:
