275000 is what percent of 430000 - 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 430000 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 430000, so we can write it down as 100%=430000.
4. We know, that x% equals 275000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=275000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=430000
2) x%=275000
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%=430000/275000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 275000 is what percent of 430000

100%/x%=430000/275000
(100/x)*x=(430000/275000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5636363636364*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5636363636364) to get x
100/1.5636363636364=x
63.953488372093=x
x=63.953488372093

now we have:
275000 is 63.953488372093% of 430000
