9017.7 is what percent of 300000 - 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 300000 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 300000, so we can write it down as 100%=300000.
4. We know, that x% equals 9017.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9017.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300000
2) x%=9017.7
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%=300000/9017.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9017.7 is what percent of 300000

100%/x%=300000/9017.7
(100/x)*x=(300000/9017.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.267906450647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.267906450647) to get x
100/33.267906450647=x
3.0059=x
x=3.0059

now we have:
9017.7 is 3.0059% of 300000
