342.5 is what percent of 6000000 - 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 6000000 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 6000000, so we can write it down as 100%=6000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 342.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=342.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6000000
2) x%=342.5
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%=6000000/342.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 342.5 is what percent of 6000000

100%/x%=6000000/342.5
(100/x)*x=(6000000/342.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17518.248175182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17518.248175182) to get x
100/17518.248175182=x
0.0057083333333333=x
x=0.0057083333333333

now we have:
342.5 is 0.0057083333333333% of 6000000
