33.5 is what percent of 1000000 - 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 1000000 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 1000000, so we can write it down as 100%=1000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1000000
2) x%=33.5
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%=1000000/33.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.5 is what percent of 1000000

100%/x%=1000000/33.5
(100/x)*x=(1000000/33.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29850.746268657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29850.746268657) to get x
100/29850.746268657=x
0.00335=x
x=0.00335

now we have:
33.5 is 0.00335% of 1000000
