45 is what percent of 37000000 - 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 37000000 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 37000000, so we can write it down as 100%=37000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37000000
2) x%=45
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%=37000000/45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45 is what percent of 37000000

100%/x%=37000000/45
(100/x)*x=(37000000/45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=822222.22222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (822222.22222222) to get x
100/822222.22222222=x
0.00012162162162162=x
x=0.00012162162162162

now we have:
45 is 0.00012162162162162% of 37000000
