Question: .5 is what percent of 5.2?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 5.2 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=5.2

Step 4: In the same vein, x%= .5.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=5.2(1)

x%=.5(2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100% 5.2%

--------- = ---------

x% . 5%

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x% . 5%

-------- = ----------

100% 5.2%

answer x=9.6153846153846%

Therefore, .5 is 9.6153846153846% of 5.2.
