What is 5.3 percent of 9329 - 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 9329 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 9329 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9329=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9329=100%
2) x=5.3%
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:
9329/x=100%/5.3%
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 5.3% of 9329

9329/x=100/5.3
(9329/x)*x=(100/5.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9329=18.867924528302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.867924528302) to get x
9329/18.867924528302=x
494.437=x
x=494.437

now we have:
5.3% of 9329=494.437
