1500.3 is what percent of 3000.59 - 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 3000.59 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 3000.59, so we can write it down as 100%=3000.59.
4. We know, that x% equals 1500.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1500.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000.59
2) x%=1500.3
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%=3000.59/1500.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1500.3 is what percent of 3000.59

100%/x%=3000.59/1500.3
(100/x)*x=(3000.59/1500.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9999933346664*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9999933346664) to get x
100/1.9999933346664=x
50.000166633895=x
x=50.000166633895

now we have:
1500.3 is 50.000166633895% of 3000.59
