437.4 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 437.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=437.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1000000
2) x%=437.4
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%=1000000/437.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 437.4 is what percent of 1000000

100%/x%=1000000/437.4
(100/x)*x=(1000000/437.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2286.2368541381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2286.2368541381) to get x
100/2286.2368541381=x
0.04374=x
x=0.04374

now we have:
437.4 is 0.04374% of 1000000
