79.64 is what percent of 0.53 - 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 0.53 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 0.53, so we can write it down as 100%=0.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.53
2) x%=79.64
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%=0.53/79.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.64 is what percent of 0.53

100%/x%=0.53/79.64
(100/x)*x=(0.53/79.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0066549472626821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0066549472626821) to get x
100/0.0066549472626821=x
15026.41509434=x
x=15026.41509434

now we have:
79.64 is 15026.41509434% of 0.53
