43.5 is what percent of 3500000 - 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 3500000 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 3500000, so we can write it down as 100%=3500000.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3500000
2) x%=43.5
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%=3500000/43.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.5 is what percent of 3500000

100%/x%=3500000/43.5
(100/x)*x=(3500000/43.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=80459.770114943*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80459.770114943) to get x
100/80459.770114943=x
0.0012428571428571=x
x=0.0012428571428571

now we have:
43.5 is 0.0012428571428571% of 3500000
