52% of 200 is 104.

Let's call the percent we are looking for $x%$

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as $x/100$ .

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for $n$ while keeping the equation balanced:

$x/100 xx 200 = 104$

$200x/100 = 104$

$2x = 104$

$(2x)/2 = 104/2$

$x = 52$
