53 is what percent of 1323 - 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 1323 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 1323, so we can write it down as 100%=1323.
4. We know, that x% equals 53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1323
2) x%=53
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%=1323/53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 53 is what percent of 1323

100%/x%=1323/53
(100/x)*x=(1323/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.962264150943*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.962264150943) to get x
100/24.962264150943=x
4.0060468631897=x
x=4.0060468631897

now we have:
53 is 4.0060468631897% of 1323
