15 is what percent of 413000 - 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 413000 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 413000, so we can write it down as 100%=413000.
4. We know, that x% equals 15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=413000
2) x%=15
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%=413000/15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15 is what percent of 413000

100%/x%=413000/15
(100/x)*x=(413000/15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27533.333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27533.333333333) to get x
100/27533.333333333=x
0.0036319612590799=x
x=0.0036319612590799

now we have:
15 is 0.0036319612590799% of 413000
