12.6 is what percent of 2500000 - 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 2500000 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 2500000, so we can write it down as 100%=2500000.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2500000
2) x%=12.6
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%=2500000/12.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.6 is what percent of 2500000

100%/x%=2500000/12.6
(100/x)*x=(2500000/12.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=198412.6984127*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (198412.6984127) to get x
100/198412.6984127=x
0.000504=x
x=0.000504

now we have:
12.6 is 0.000504% of 2500000
