36 is what percent of 685575 - 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 685575 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 685575, so we can write it down as 100%=685575.
4. We know, that x% equals 36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=685575
2) x%=36
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%=685575/36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36 is what percent of 685575

100%/x%=685575/36
(100/x)*x=(685575/36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19043.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19043.75) to get x
100/19043.75=x
0.0052510666229078=x
x=0.0052510666229078

now we have:
