13.68 is what percent of 318000 - 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 318000 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 318000, so we can write it down as 100%=318000.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=318000
2) x%=13.68
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%=318000/13.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.68 is what percent of 318000

100%/x%=318000/13.68
(100/x)*x=(318000/13.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23245.614035088*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23245.614035088) to get x
100/23245.614035088=x
0.0043018867924528=x
x=0.0043018867924528

now we have:
13.68 is 0.0043018867924528% of 318000
