5.43 is what percent of 112 - 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 112 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 112, so we can write it down as 100%=112.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=112
2) x%=5.43
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%=112/5.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.43 is what percent of 112

100%/x%=112/5.43
(100/x)*x=(112/5.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.626151012891*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.626151012891) to get x
100/20.626151012891=x
4.8482142857143=x
x=4.8482142857143

now we have:
5.43 is 4.8482142857143% of 112
