5450.2 is what percent of 310000 - 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 310000 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 310000, so we can write it down as 100%=310000.
4. We know, that x% equals 5450.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5450.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=310000
2) x%=5450.2
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%=310000/5450.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5450.2 is what percent of 310000

100%/x%=310000/5450.2
(100/x)*x=(310000/5450.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.878646655169*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.878646655169) to get x
100/56.878646655169=x
1.7581290322581=x
x=1.7581290322581

now we have:
5450.2 is 1.7581290322581% of 310000
