399999.92 is what percent of 62 - 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 62 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 62, so we can write it down as 100%=62.
4. We know, that x% equals 399999.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=399999.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62
2) x%=399999.92
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%=62/399999.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 399999.92 is what percent of 62

100%/x%=62/399999.92
(100/x)*x=(62/399999.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00015500003100001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00015500003100001) to get x
100/0.00015500003100001=x
645161.16129032=x
x=645161.16129032

now we have:
