5.81 is what percent of 3000 - 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 3000 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 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000
2) x%=5.81
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%=3000/5.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.81 is what percent of 3000

100%/x%=3000/5.81
(100/x)*x=(3000/5.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=516.35111876076*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (516.35111876076) to get x
100/516.35111876076=x
0.19366666666667=x
x=0.19366666666667

now we have:
5.81 is 0.19366666666667% of 3000
