90 is what percent of 297000 - 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 297000 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 297000, so we can write it down as 100%=297000.
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%=297000
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%=297000/90
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 297000

100%/x%=297000/90
(100/x)*x=(297000/90)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3300*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3300) to get x
100/3300=x
0.03030303030303=x
x=0.03030303030303

now we have:
90 is 0.03030303030303% of 297000
