88 is what percent of 602000 - 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 602000 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 602000, so we can write it down as 100%=602000.
4. We know, that x% equals 88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=602000
2) x%=88
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%=602000/88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88 is what percent of 602000

100%/x%=602000/88
(100/x)*x=(602000/88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6840.9090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6840.9090909091) to get x
100/6840.9090909091=x
0.014617940199336=x
x=0.014617940199336

now we have:
88 is 0.014617940199336% of 602000
