23 is what percent of 2255000 - 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 2255000 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 2255000, so we can write it down as 100%=2255000.
4. We know, that x% equals 23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2255000
2) x%=23
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%=2255000/23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23 is what percent of 2255000

100%/x%=2255000/23
(100/x)*x=(2255000/23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=98043.47826087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (98043.47826087) to get x
100/98043.47826087=x
0.001019955654102=x
x=0.001019955654102

now we have:
23 is 0.001019955654102% of 2255000
