5.06 is what percent of 9035.79 - 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 9035.79 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 9035.79, so we can write it down as 100%=9035.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9035.79
2) x%=5.06
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%=9035.79/5.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.06 is what percent of 9035.79

100%/x%=9035.79/5.06
(100/x)*x=(9035.79/5.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1785.7292490119*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1785.7292490119) to get x
100/1785.7292490119=x
0.05599953075492=x
x=0.05599953075492

now we have:
