What is 92.31 percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 92.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=92.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5=100%
2) x=92.31%
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:
5/x=100%/92.31%
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 92.31% of 5

5/x=100/92.31
(5/x)*x=(100/92.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5=1.0833062506771*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0833062506771) to get x
5/1.0833062506771=x
4.6155=x
x=4.6155

now we have:
92.31% of 5=4.6155
