The following question is of the type "How much X percent of W", where W is the whole amount and X is the percentage figure or rate".
Let's say that you need to find 52 percent of 5433. What are the steps?
Step 1: first determine the value of the whole amount. We assume that the whole amount is 5433.
Step 2: determine the percentage, which is 52.
Step 3: Convert the percentage 52% to its decimal form by dividing 52 into 100 to get the decimal number 0.52:
52100 = 0.52
Notice that dividing into 100 is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the left.
52.0 → 5.20 → 0.52
Step 4: Finally, find the portion by multiplying the decimal form, found in the previous step, by the whole amount:
0.52 x 5433 = 2825.16 (answer).
The steps above are expressed by the formula:
P = W × X%100
This formula says that:
"To find the portion or the part from the whole amount, multiply the whole by the percentage, then divide the result by 100".
The symbol % means the percentage expressed in a fraction or multiple of one hundred.
Replacing these values in the formula, we get:
P = 5433 × 52100 = 5433 × 0.52 = 2825.16 (answer)
Therefore, the answer is 2825.16 is 52 percent of 5433.
