0.06 is what percent of 35000 - 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 35000 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 35000, so we can write it down as 100%=35000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35000
2) x%=0.06
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%=35000/0.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.06 is what percent of 35000

100%/x%=35000/0.06
(100/x)*x=(35000/0.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=583333.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (583333.33333333) to get x
100/583333.33333333=x
0.00017142857142857=x
x=0.00017142857142857

now we have:
0.06 is 0.00017142857142857% of 35000
