144000 is what percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 144000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=144000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=144000
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%=9/144000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 144000 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/144000
(100/x)*x=(9/144000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.25E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.25E-5) to get x
100/6.25E-5=x
1600000=x
x=1600000

now we have:
144000 is 1600000% of 9
