227000 is what percent of 1.0E+14 - 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 1.0E+14 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 1.0E+14, so we can write it down as 100%=1.0E+14.
4. We know, that x% equals 227000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=227000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.0E+14
2) x%=227000
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%=1.0E+14/227000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 227000 is what percent of 1.0E+14

100%/x%=1.0E+14/227000
(100/x)*x=(1.0E+14/227000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=440528634.36123*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (440528634.36123) to get x
100/440528634.36123=x
2.27E-7=x
x=2.27E-7

now we have:
227000 is 2.27E-7% of 1.0E+14
