What is 7.3 percent of 5320 - 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 5320 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 5320 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5320=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5320=100%
2) x=7.3%
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:
5320/x=100%/7.3%
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 7.3% of 5320

5320/x=100/7.3
(5320/x)*x=(100/7.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5320=13.698630136986*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.698630136986) to get x
5320/13.698630136986=x
388.36=x
x=388.36

now we have:
7.3% of 5320=388.36
