30 is what percent of 196000 - 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 196000 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 196000, so we can write it down as 100%=196000.
4. We know, that x% equals 30 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=196000
2) x%=30
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%=196000/30
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30 is what percent of 196000

100%/x%=196000/30
(100/x)*x=(196000/30)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6533.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6533.3333333333) to get x
100/6533.3333333333=x
0.01530612244898=x
x=0.01530612244898

now we have:
30 is 0.01530612244898% of 196000
