What is 5.24 percent of 21048 - 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 21048 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 21048 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21048=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21048=100%
2) x=5.24%
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:
21048/x=100%/5.24%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 5.24% of 21048

21048/x=100/5.24
(21048/x)*x=(100/5.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21048=19.083969465649*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.083969465649) to get x
21048/19.083969465649=x
1102.9152=x
x=1102.9152

now we have:
5.24% of 21048=1102.9152
