947.5 is what percent of 1600000 - 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 1600000 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 1600000, so we can write it down as 100%=1600000.
4. We know, that x% equals 947.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=947.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1600000
2) x%=947.5
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%=1600000/947.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 947.5 is what percent of 1600000

100%/x%=1600000/947.5
(100/x)*x=(1600000/947.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1688.654353562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1688.654353562) to get x
100/1688.654353562=x
0.05921875=x
x=0.05921875

now we have:
947.5 is 0.05921875% of 1600000
