10 is what percent of 1078000 - 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 1078000 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 1078000, so we can write it down as 100%=1078000.
4. We know, that x% equals 10 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1078000
2) x%=10
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%=1078000/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10 is what percent of 1078000

100%/x%=1078000/10
(100/x)*x=(1078000/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=107800*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (107800) to get x
100/107800=x
0.00092764378478664=x
x=0.00092764378478664

now we have:
10 is 0.00092764378478664% of 1078000
