0.8 is what percent of 3000000 - 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 3000000 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 3000000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000000
2) x%=0.8
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%=3000000/0.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.8 is what percent of 3000000

100%/x%=3000000/0.8
(100/x)*x=(3000000/0.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3750000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3750000) to get x
100/3750000=x
2.6666666666667E-5=x
x=2.6666666666667E-5

now we have:
0.8 is 2.6666666666667E-5% of 3000000
