71 is what percent of 329000 - 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 329000 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 329000, so we can write it down as 100%=329000.
4. We know, that x% equals 71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=329000
2) x%=71
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%=329000/71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 71 is what percent of 329000

100%/x%=329000/71
(100/x)*x=(329000/71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4633.8028169014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4633.8028169014) to get x
100/4633.8028169014=x
0.021580547112462=x
x=0.021580547112462

now we have:
71 is 0.021580547112462% of 329000
