0.2 is what percent of 2492252 - 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 2492252 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 2492252, so we can write it down as 100%=2492252.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2492252
2) x%=0.2
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%=2492252/0.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.2 is what percent of 2492252

100%/x%=2492252/0.2
(100/x)*x=(2492252/0.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12461260*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12461260) to get x
100/12461260=x
8.024870679209E-6=x
x=8.024870679209E-6

now we have:
