10.8 is what percent of 64000 - 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 64000 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 64000, so we can write it down as 100%=64000.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=64000
2) x%=10.8
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%=64000/10.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.8 is what percent of 64000

100%/x%=64000/10.8
(100/x)*x=(64000/10.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5925.9259259259*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5925.9259259259) to get x
100/5925.9259259259=x
0.016875=x
x=0.016875

now we have:
10.8 is 0.016875% of 64000
