61713.19 is what percent of 300000 - 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 300000 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 300000, so we can write it down as 100%=300000.
4. We know, that x% equals 61713.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61713.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300000
2) x%=61713.19
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%=300000/61713.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61713.19 is what percent of 300000

100%/x%=300000/61713.19
(100/x)*x=(300000/61713.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8611974198709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8611974198709) to get x
100/4.8611974198709=x
20.571063333333=x
x=20.571063333333

now we have:
61713.19 is 20.571063333333% of 300000
