48 is what percent of 697000 - 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 697000 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 697000, so we can write it down as 100%=697000.
4. We know, that x% equals 48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=697000
2) x%=48
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%=697000/48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48 is what percent of 697000

100%/x%=697000/48
(100/x)*x=(697000/48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14520.833333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14520.833333333) to get x
100/14520.833333333=x
0.0068866571018651=x
x=0.0068866571018651

now we have:
48 is 0.0068866571018651% of 697000
