80 is what percent of 325000 - 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 325000 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 325000, so we can write it down as 100%=325000.
4. We know, that x% equals 80 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325000
2) x%=80
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%=325000/80
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80 is what percent of 325000

100%/x%=325000/80
(100/x)*x=(325000/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4062.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4062.5) to get x
100/4062.5=x
0.024615384615385=x
x=0.024615384615385

now we have:
80 is 0.024615384615385% of 325000
