50030 is what percent of 215000 - 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 215000 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 215000, so we can write it down as 100%=215000.
4. We know, that x% equals 50030 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50030.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=215000
2) x%=50030
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%=215000/50030
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50030 is what percent of 215000

100%/x%=215000/50030
(100/x)*x=(215000/50030)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2974215470718*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2974215470718) to get x
100/4.2974215470718=x
23.26976744186=x
x=23.26976744186

now we have:
50030 is 23.26976744186% of 215000
