252.35 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 252.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=252.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300000
2) x%=252.35
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%=300000/252.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 252.35 is what percent of 300000

100%/x%=300000/252.35
(100/x)*x=(300000/252.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1188.8250445809*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1188.8250445809) to get x
100/1188.8250445809=x
0.084116666666667=x
x=0.084116666666667

now we have:
252.35 is 0.084116666666667% of 300000
