1.207E-5 is what percent of 2.923E-5 - 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 2.923E-5 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 2.923E-5, so we can write it down as 100%=2.923E-5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.207E-5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.207E-5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.923E-5
2) x%=1.207E-5
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%=2.923E-5/1.207E-5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.207E-5 is what percent of 2.923E-5

100%/x%=2.923E-5/1.207E-5
(100/x)*x=(2.923E-5/1.207E-5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4217067108534*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4217067108534) to get x
100/2.4217067108534=x
41.293191926103=x
x=41.293191926103

now we have:
