0.3 is what percent of 5567 - 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 5567 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 5567, so we can write it down as 100%=5567.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5567
2) x%=0.3
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%=5567/0.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.3 is what percent of 5567

100%/x%=5567/0.3
(100/x)*x=(5567/0.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18556.666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18556.666666667) to get x
100/18556.666666667=x
0.0053888988683312=x
x=0.0053888988683312

now we have:
0.3 is 0.0053888988683312% of 5567
