5.01 is what percent of 20.68 - 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 20.68 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 20.68, so we can write it down as 100%=20.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20.68
2) x%=5.01
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%=20.68/5.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.01 is what percent of 20.68

100%/x%=20.68/5.01
(100/x)*x=(20.68/5.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.127744510978*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.127744510978) to get x
100/4.127744510978=x
24.226305609284=x
x=24.226305609284

now we have:
5.01 is 24.226305609284% of 20.68
