15007.92 is what percent of 300000 - 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 300000 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 300000, so we can write it down as 100%=300000.
4. We know, that x% equals 15007.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15007.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300000
2) x%=15007.92
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%=300000/15007.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15007.92 is what percent of 300000

100%/x%=300000/15007.92
(100/x)*x=(300000/15007.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.989445572738*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.989445572738) to get x
100/19.989445572738=x
5.00264=x
x=5.00264

now we have:
15007.92 is 5.00264% of 300000
