1.17 is what percent of 302809 - 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 302809 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 302809, so we can write it down as 100%=302809.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=302809
2) x%=1.17
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%=302809/1.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.17 is what percent of 302809

100%/x%=302809/1.17
(100/x)*x=(302809/1.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=258811.11111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (258811.11111111) to get x
100/258811.11111111=x
0.00038638217490233=x
x=0.00038638217490233

now we have:
1.17 is 0.00038638217490233% of 302809
