15.6 is what percent of 7401000 - 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 7401000 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 7401000, so we can write it down as 100%=7401000.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7401000
2) x%=15.6
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%=7401000/15.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.6 is what percent of 7401000

100%/x%=7401000/15.6
(100/x)*x=(7401000/15.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=474423.07692308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (474423.07692308) to get x
100/474423.07692308=x
0.00021078232671261=x
x=0.00021078232671261

now we have:
15.6 is 0.00021078232671261% of 7401000
