64.5 is what percent of 304000 - 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 304000 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 304000, so we can write it down as 100%=304000.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=304000
2) x%=64.5
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%=304000/64.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.5 is what percent of 304000

100%/x%=304000/64.5
(100/x)*x=(304000/64.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4713.1782945736*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4713.1782945736) to get x
100/4713.1782945736=x
0.021217105263158=x
x=0.021217105263158

now we have:
64.5 is 0.021217105263158% of 304000
