69 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 69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300000
2) x%=69
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%=300000/69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69 is what percent of 300000

100%/x%=300000/69
(100/x)*x=(300000/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4347.8260869565*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4347.8260869565) to get x
100/4347.8260869565=x
0.023=x
x=0.023

now we have:
69 is 0.023% of 300000
