0.01 is what percent of 36000 - 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 36000 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 100% equals 36000, so we can write it down as 100%=36000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36000
2) x%=0.01
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:
100%/x%=36000/0.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.01 is what percent of 36000

100%/x%=36000/0.01
(100/x)*x=(36000/0.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3600000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3600000) to get x
100/3600000=x
2.7777777777778E-5=x
x=2.7777777777778E-5

now we have:
0.01 is 2.7777777777778E-5% of 36000
