0.49 is what percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000, so we can write it down as 100%=30000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30000
2) x%=0.49
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%=30000/0.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.49 is what percent of 30000

100%/x%=30000/0.49
(100/x)*x=(30000/0.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=61224.489795918*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (61224.489795918) to get x
100/61224.489795918=x
0.0016333333333333=x
x=0.0016333333333333

now we have:
0.49 is 0.0016333333333333% of 30000
