90 is what percent of 232000 - 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 232000 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 232000, so we can write it down as 100%=232000.
4. We know, that x% equals 90 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=90.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=232000
2) x%=90
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%=232000/90
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 90 is what percent of 232000

100%/x%=232000/90
(100/x)*x=(232000/90)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2577.7777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2577.7777777778) to get x
100/2577.7777777778=x
0.038793103448276=x
x=0.038793103448276

now we have:
90 is 0.038793103448276% of 232000
