325.3 is what percent of 200000 - 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 200000 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 200000, so we can write it down as 100%=200000.
4. We know, that x% equals 325.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=325.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=200000
2) x%=325.3
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%=200000/325.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 325.3 is what percent of 200000

100%/x%=200000/325.3
(100/x)*x=(200000/325.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=614.81709191516*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (614.81709191516) to get x
100/614.81709191516=x
0.16265=x
x=0.16265

now we have:
325.3 is 0.16265% of 200000
